‘Copper Russet Dun’ – lithograph, 27x22cm, edition of 18
A study of crisp vibrant bracken glowing against cornflower skies
Rachel Gracey trained at Wimbledon School of Art. Using Lithography Gracey breathes light between the shifting forms of rural or urban landscapes and seascapes. She is absorbed and enthralled by the process and power of printmaking. The making allows for a level of experimentation and collaboration which results in a practice which is constantly labile and sometimes throws up unexpected results. It reflects Gracey’s own desire to go beyond mere observation and her commitment to explore and reveal the unseen. As her subject is landscape, delving into process can result in works that are uniquely evocative stirring memories in the artist and viewer alike as shifting thoughts seek out recognisable forms and places.
