Description
About artist: Rebecca Gleeson’s work explores themes of isolation, memory and distance. They are currently making use of more ‘common’ imagery, as part of an investigation of what these cultural touchstones can evoke, or be pushed to convey. Gleeson primarily works with intaglio printmaking, with a particular interest in mezzotinting, and detailed aquatints. Gleeson graduated from Dublin’s National College of Art & Design in 2021. She is now a member of the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin. Highlights include, ‘Emerging Practice’ 2022, in The Library Project (Dublin), as well as In Spire Gallery.
About artwork: Sheet Ghost: The figure of the ‘ghost’ in the sheet is commonplace, but evocative. This is a small mezzotint, so the shrouded figure emerges from the dark visually & materially through the burnishing back of that process. The figure of the ghost straddles the line between unnerving & deserving of a comical pity, with its lack of expression & its bare feet fading away into the print.
