Untitled 2018

This intriguing print, made by EtchingRoom1, is like a collection of memories, all layered up. It's rendered in a monochromatic palette, using lines to sketch out these images. You can almost see the artist sifting through different ideas, combining images in unexpected ways. What was it like to create this piece? Maybe they were thinking about movement, crowds, and the feeling of being stuck, the monotony of architecture, the excitement of travel. For me, the lines almost act like pathways, connecting different elements of the composition. It is as if the artist is creating their own language out of symbols, speaking to something felt but not easily seen. This piece really echoes other works in its combination of the formal and representational - you can see a conversation going on between artists across time. It celebrates the kind of ambiguity and openness that allows a piece to be interpreted in so many different ways.
