Meet the maker - Rebecca Denton
I make original fine art prints. By combining ancient printmaking techniques, such as etching with stories in my head, I try to create work that is contemporary and unique. From the idea to the sketch to the preparing and inking of the plate, I love every step of the process! Works are often narrative with imaginary characters in imagined landscapes; playful or serious, but always hopeful and life-affirming.
Etching editions are limited to 40 prints whilst the atmospheric monotypes, ‘printed paintings’, are one-offs. To find out more about me and the process visit www.rebeccadenton.com, or Instagram: @rebeccadentonart
My most recent drypoint etching ‘Evening Flight’ is my new favourite. I’m very happy with the way it turned out as etching can be unpredictable... You never know exactly how it will look until the first print is pulled! I’ve tried to bring together both the drama and calm that the sea and birds in flight evoke.
My favourite place to find inspiration is my imagination, childhood memories and road trips.
Rebecca will be at Homeworks on 1st and 8th December.
