Rocks - Owen Bonner-Morgan
Description
560x700mm Framed. Drypoint Etching. ARTIST STATEMENT: This artwork is a response to the GCSE course theme Identity.I created a set of dry pointed etchings to capture the pure beauty of the iconic Guernsey coastline. The dark and mysterious tones of the rocks were the mains focus, and I wanted to show how they were so solitary in the vast, wide-open sea. These etchings are of the rocky outcrops of Port Soif and the jagged flats of Moulin Huet, which are places of enjoyment for me. Rolled into this though is the dark and depressing emotions of the Lockdown period, represented by the ominous, lingering clouds in the skies. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Owen is currently a student at Elizabeth College.
