Magdalene Etching

Five progressive states of the Magdalene etching side by side, the skull-faced seated figure emerging from faint outline to dense black shadow

Magdalene, 2015 hard and soft ground etching with drypoint image size 19.5 x 29 cm

this was a series made to be shown as a pair with another etching of John The Baptist (images to be added when I have time)
Etching, fourth state: a seated nude Magdalene with a skull's face resting her chin on one hand, winged figures swooping toward her over a dark inky floor
