Nicola Slattery

Over the years, Nicola has made quite a name for herself as a print maker. Her figures and compositions create a mystical, dream-like quality that holds the eye and has you wondering about the characters depicted.

Most of Nicola's current work is printed using a technique called 'Drypoint". Similar to engraving, a sharp pointed tool is used to inscribe directly into the surface of the plate. With Drypoint however, not only is a line inscribed into the surface but a burr is pushed up, like the furrow of a ploughed field. When the plate is inked and wiped, both the inscribed mark and the burr hold the ink, printing as a thick, velvety line.
