Sally Weatherill MSDC
Printmaking









Sally Weatherill uses the palimpsest and the inevitable variation within manual repetition to explore the themes of transience, time and memory. She creates work over an extended period, using repeated processes which fall into two opposing categories - constructive and destructive. These categories can be seen as symbolic of the tension between the man-made and the natural or the structured and unpredictable.
In printmaking Sally is focusing on etching; she builds the plate by creating and obliterating images. She typically works with soft ground, aquatint, open bite and spit bite, embracing the ghostly traces and unexpected effects produced.
Sally’s work is characterized by openness and possibility. There is the potential that a plate might undergo further transformation in the future. Openness extends to the viewer too. The palimpsestic layers created, although thematically linked to time and memory, work visually to create uncertainty and invite an open reading.
