Description
About artist: Completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, in 2012. During this time Manson took part in workshops in the Netherlands, with the European League of the Institutes of the Arts and was selected to represent Ireland in the Prix Europa, Languages through Lenses video competition on multilingualism. Her short film was awarded 4th place out of fifteen shortlisted entries selected from 27 European Union Member States with her entry 'Choose Wisely'.
Manson's work is in collections such as; AXA Insurance and The Royal College of Surgeons and is housed in numerous private collections also.
Sarah Eva's works were selected for the 121st RHA Annual Exhibition in 2011. In November of the same year, she was invited to exhibit in The Cockleshell Gallery, Waterford. There she showed an installation of 52 palimpsest etchings along with a short video piece. Her work was also selected for the travelling Irish Wave exhibition curated by Fionn Gunn, this exhibition travelled to Beijing and Shanghai in 2012.
Manson spent 6years working in the Copper House Gallery, Dublin, where she specialised in exhibition design, planning and production, advanced transparency and negative scanning along with large format scanning as an archival and conservation resource.
She now focuses on her own practice inspired by her current studies as a Forest Bathing Guide and helps fellow artists in their studios and online as an assistant.
About artwork: Original copper plate etching with aquatint In traditional pure etching, a metal plate (usually of copper, zinc or steel) is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where he or she wants a line to appear in the finished piece, exposing the bare metal. The échoppe, a tool with a slanted oval section, is also used for "swelling" lines. The plate is then dipped in a bath of acid, known as the mordant (French for "biting") or etchant, or has acid washed over it. The acid "bites" into the metal (it undergoes a redox reaction) to a depth depending on time and acid strength, leaving behind the drawing carved into the wax on the plate. The remaining ground is then cleaned off the plate. For first and renewed uses the plate is inked in any chosen non-corrosive ink all over and the surface ink drained and wiped clean, leaving ink in the etched forms.
