Seahorses Etching

Additional Information

Seahorses – limited edition etching by Bernadette Meyers

Seahorses are mesmerising to watch. It’s easy to slip into a dreamy world while watching them gracefully float around and swim between the weeds. I tried to express the underwater world from their perspective by loosely applying ink to the drawing and then scratched the seahorse figures out of the water.

I use a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly method to make my prints with light-sensitive photo-polymer plates. First, I draw or paint the artwork using a variety of wet and dry media. Next, the artwork is transferred to the plate in two stages. The plate is then processed in water only (without any chemicals). I print in the traditional intaglio way by pressing ink into the etched marks in the plate and polishing the excess off the surface. The plate is printed onto dampened etching paper with high pressure on a very old etching press.

Printmaking in this manner is a fairly long and involved process. You can’t rush it. However, I find that all adds to the meditative quality of the artwork.
