Acrylic Sheet Drypoint Etching


The background of "Its been a while" was inspired by van Gogh's Starry Starry Night.
In this work, I met up with a childhood friend whom I hadn't met for 5 years at Dohby Gaut MRT station to go to NAFA's open house. I remembered she was so late that I thought I was going to have to go for the open house alone and the moment captured in my work was what I felt seeing her for the first time in half a decade; a happy feeling filling the emptiness of a void.




My Acrylic Sheet's final. I used a dry-point tool to engrave my design on the acrylic sheet. One challenge I face is that it is hard to control the dry-point tool while etching  on the sheet; hard to get a proper curve line if I hesitate to make a mark.. lesson learnt.. don't hesitate!
