Artist Statement
THE STORY
The inspiration behind this artwork was the yellow matchbox called 'Cook's Matches' I used daily in London, which exemplify for me how beauty can be inconspicuous and available every day.
THE PROCESS
This is a combination of photo etching with some hand-drawn line etching and soft-ground etching, made on a zinc plate.
