Old Man of Storr I digitally edited etching prints

A3 digitally-edited soft ground etching made using broken heather and other natural matter found near The Old Man of Storr, Skye.

The wind whipped around us as we climbed up to the Old Man of Storr in the mist. I wanted to capture the energy of the elements around us as well as have a direct link to the landscape we were walking in. I gathered broken pieces of heather and scraps of moss that had fallen onto the path and later pressed them into the soft-ground etching plate. I created a series of different coloured etchings through digital scanning, playing with emulating the autumnal colours of Skye as well as emphasising the mark-making and movement in the etching.
