About this work
Overview
This untitled print is an etching with chine collé by Andrea Büttner, created in 2019. It is a simple line drawing on a pale green background, featuring a tall, thin shape leaning against a small square base.
Technique & Style
The etching technique used here involves raising lines on a plate, which then hold ink, resulting in a scratchy, uneven appearance. The rough texture is characteristic of this method, giving the drawing a distinctive, non-smooth quality.
Subject & Meaning
The work's simple form, resembling a stick or broom, may be interpreted through the lens of Büttner's practice, which often explores themes of poverty, shame, vulnerability, and dignity.
