About artist: Rebecca Gleeson’s work explores themes of isolation, memory, distance, and narrative. These concerns have been addressed through the use of polar imagery and landscapes most recently, but they have also been explored through seascapes, image appropriation, found materials, and making use of archival or museum presentation methods. Gleeson currently is working primarily through stone lithography. This process is very drawing focused, and the slow processing times give a lot of time for contemplation; seeking synchronicity between desired outcomes and the spontaneity that this chemical-based print process provides. Recently Gleeson has been investigating combining print with more multimedia approaches; incorporating more interactive mixed media aspects, and exploring other disciplines that spin-off from printmaking: like film, and bookforms. Gleeson graduated from Dublin’s National College of Art & Design in 2021. Since then she has been a member of the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin. Exhibiting highlights include, ‘Monochromatic’ in the Graphic Studio Dublin Gallery 2024, ‘Small Things Like These’ in the LHQ Gallery, Cork in 2023, and ‘Emerging Practice’, in The Library Project, Dublin in 2022.
About artwork: Originally created as a test print, this was a first go at aluminium etching. I was heavily influenced by my reading at the time about early diving technologies. The figure was painted on to the plate using stop out to prevent etching in certain areas, and then left to etch. The textured nature of an aluminium etch does a lot for this piece, adding further depth.
