I'm exhibiting at Christie's New York!

20/1/2016

 
Picture
Such exciting news to share. I'm about to have this piece exhibited in Christie's New York! The piece is called Siberia - Irrational representation III. It is an etching with chine colle. Chine colle is like a form of collage, which is put through the press as it is being printed.  It fuses with the print and it's almost impossible to tell that it was glued on. I love it as a technique, as I like to add hints of colour and form to my line images. This etching is a unique print. There is no limited edition, there is just one available!

It is part of a series of etchings exploring, landscape, cartography,  symbolism and identity.  I have been interested in the juxtaposition of  how  cartography changes to reflect  shifting landmass and also human and animal movement across landscapes.  Within my own family's history, my grandparents, Polish Jews, were taken to a hard labour camp in Siberia, where my grandmother at the age of 12 was sent to cut down trees, as her mother was too ill to do so. They eventually escaped  by walking at night and hiding in the day time, surviving often on one potato a day. The family ended up in a displaced persons camp in Germany at the end of the war and now live in Philadelphia and New York mostly. This history - or herstory -  forms a backbone to my work, addressing landscape and the stories and shifts  imprinted into the fabric of the earth over time.

The exhibition is being put on by the Royal Drawing School, where I completed my MA diploma in drawing in 2007, and now work, teaching printmaking and drawing. Christie's says of the show; 'the Royal Drawing School’s US inaugural exhibition of drawings at Christie’s New York runs alongside Master Drawings Week New York 2016 and Christie’s Old Master and British Drawings sale. The selling exhibition of over 70 drawings by contemporary practicing artists will span three rooms and includes drawings from alumni, faculty and artists closely associated with the Royal Drawing School including Christopher Le Brun, President of the Royal Academy, Humphrey Ocean RA, Timothy Hyman RA, Catherine Goodman, Artistic Director of the Royal Drawing School, David Dawson, Ishbel Myerscough, Sarah Pickstone and Stuart Pearson Wright. '  

Although I won't be going to New York for the exhibition myself, I'm hoping someone will take some pictures of my piece in the show for me!
If you are in New York and happen to see it, please let me know!  : )
