Terrence Higgins Trust, The Timed Auction 2021

The etching was created and printed in the artist’s home printmaking studio which is located in Westerwolde, a rural region in the Netherlands. The etching has been printed with three various plates, printed on Fabriano Rosaspina 285 g/m2 etching paper.

Erna Simis is fascinated by naturally formed shapes and textures. She is intrigued by the sense of constant movement and change around us. In her abstract etchings, she strives for a symbiosis between shape, line, colour and texture. She often combines several etching plates and techniques and loves the unpredictability of the etching plate.
