Susan Vera Clarke steps away from the stereotype that's normally associated with Etching and finds the true impression from her matrix, the plate.

With a central focus on Etching, Susan explores the boundaries of intaglio techniques and challenges what we traditionally considered to be a ‘print’. She adopts a playful use of colour, stencil and other more conventional etching steps to draw her image and through this allows the method to dictate the aesthetic of each edition. 

Susan Vera Clarke is a British artist who lives and works in East London.
