Description

The artist appears to have attacked the ground with a roulette and scraper before applying a very gestural mark with stop-out vanish and biting the plate deeply. During Ferron's thirteen-year stay in Paris from 1953 she spent some time at Atelier 17, like so many Canadian artists, and this print, made many years later, reflects that influence.
A fine, rich impression on cream wove paper with full margins.

However, from the late 50’s until at least the late 70’s she also occasionally experimented with printmaking, largely with serigraphy, but also producing a small number of etchings.
