about the edition
about the edition
Limited edition of 35.
Copperplate etching & aquatint.
Anj Smith’s luscious visual languages explore issues of uncertainty, eroticism, mortality and anxiety. The imagery for this etching emerged from preliminary drawings for Smith’s site-specific installation at The Audley, London, and deals with themes around subversion and subjectivity.
Within the work Smith evokes the bleached, hyperreal worlds of Marilyn Moore’s poem ‘An Octopus’ (1924) and references the text in her title. Pouring like liquid through the tiniest of openings, an Octopus refutes categorisation, at one moment as smooth as glass, the next as roughly textured as its rocky surroundings. These creatures are vulnerable, yet powerfully strong, and by extension can be seen to represent the complexity of all beings.
Sold unframed.
