"Etching for me lies somewhere between sculpture and painting. It can be a very physical medium, and I use and explore this sculptural quality in my work. I love the contradiction of altering the surface of the metal to create painterly marks on the paper. My imagery develops from a desire to explore something ambiguous; a sense of place, a perspective, an emotion, a colour. From these beginnings the piece becomes an adventure, not knowing until I finish where it’s going to end up." - Rachael Kantaris
