Artwork description:

This dry point etching is of an African American farm labourer circa 19th Century. The image was drawn on an acrylic sheet and inked to create a dry point etching that retains the immediacy of the drawn line, creating a print that retains the aspect of drawing.

These drawings are in-part resonating the past works of Gustave Courbet and Van Gogh (who was inspired by Courbet) and their drawings and painting associated with farm workers and seed sowers.

This image forms part of an ongoing series of works exploring Lost Generations and the human condition associated with indentured servitudes and aspects of slavery.

[There will only be 10 Editions of this black and white line print]

Materials used:

Acrylic Sheet, Etching Needle, Lithograph Ink, Fabriano Paper.
