Editor: This is "Blotter" by Peter Doig. It's a monochrome print, and I'm struck by how still and contemplative it feels. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Funny you say contemplative, because I find it unsettling. The figure feels isolated, almost dissolving into the water and reflection. It makes me wonder if Doig is exploring themes of identity and fragmentation, like a memory fading. What do you think? Editor: That's an interesting reading! I was just caught up in the quietness. Curator: Well, art's a two-way mirror, isn't it? We see ourselves in it, too. It gives a new perspective. Editor: Exactly! I definitely see that now.

Ten Etchings is Doig’s first print portfolio. As the title indicates, it is a suite of ten etchings. The portfolio was produced in an edition of thirty-five. Tate’s copy is one of six additional proof sets. Each print is individually signed and numbered ‘TC’ (Tate copy) by the artist. The portfolio is presented in a red artist’s solander box with title and colophon pages designed by Peter B. Willberg. It was printed at Hope Sufferance Press, London on 350gsm Zerkall paper and published by Charles Booth-Clibborn under his imprint, The Paragon Press.
