Bold forms and a limited colour palette create impact and ambiguity in this etching with aquatint by sculptor Alison Wilding RA, a 1992 Turner Prize nominee.

Wilding sees drawing as, “a search for its subject”. Other images in the Species series, produced during a visit to a Madrid printmaking studio, include a dog, bird, bat and human head. Wilding describes the image’s tangled web, whose likeness appears in some of her sculptures, as a kind of doodle; the starting point for a work.

Artist sales: This work is sold by the artist. RA Enterprises facilitates the sale, and receives a commission from the artist only.

The Artist

Alison Wilding RA

Sculptor Alison Wilding was born in the north west of England in 1948. In the late 1960s and early 70s, she studied at three different art establishments: Nottingham College of Art, Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art, finishing her final year in 1973. Wilding has worked in different mediums and was known as a multi-media artist at the start of her career, but is now most well-regarded for her multi-textured abstract sculptures. She uses a huge variety of materials to create her work, including silk, steel, bronze, was, wood, beeswax and oil.
