Leya Mira-Brander’s curious dream-like prints are crafted using the aged and delicate medium of copper plate etching. These mesmerizing illustrations of animals, geometric objects, natural and urban landscapes, human anatomy and poetic portraits, consolidate threads – the words, language and emotions – that mold Brander’s own experiences and those she might like to have. As the subjective origin of her work, her real and imaginary stories feed each other to produce varied and complex associative narratives. The worlds in these enigmatic images, steeped in melancholic mysticism, are equally shaped by the romanticized history of copper etching associated with the work of the Old Masters.
