About artist: Julie Ann Haines is a Dublin based artist and printmaker work depicts moments of stillness in the overlooked corners of urban spaces close to where she lives. She is motivated by light and her subject matter is the unremarkable and unpeopled localities passed by everyday when all that is left are the traces of those who have passed through. She meticulously crops photographs to create balanced compositions and singular motifs before layering colours in either multi plate colour etchings or monotypes to produce her final print. Haines' work submitted here was taken from photographs captured several years ago. She is curious about the structures we collect and build and the traces we leave behind. Haines graduated with a BA Honours in Fine Art Painting from Norwich School of Art in 1989 and has been a member of the Graphic Studio Dublin since 2013. Recent exhibitions include The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, International Original Print Exhibition, Bankside Gallery, London, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Boyle Arts Festival, RHA Dublin and the RUA Belfast. Her work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Ireland, Arts Council of N. Ireland, Dept of Finance N.Ireland, Office of Public Works, National Library of Ireland, British Library and University of Limerick.
About artwork: Coast is a 3 plate colour etching of a half built apartment block set in the semi rural fringes of north Dublin. Captured several years ago in a state of incompletion I was drawn to this image because of the iconic and timeless presence of this empty structure. I was intrigued by the stillness of the long dark shadows and rectangular spaces of its unglazed window openings and the simple beauty of its half built form.
