about The Yamuri Shibun

Carrying a parasol with the text of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper emblazoned across it, the geisha-like figure wearing a traditional, fanciful robe of orange and black clothl is admired by three men in three-piece suits.

A classic theme of Christine Amarger, the inclusion of newsprint and the focus on newspapers in her work is reflected by the parasol featuring an actual Japanese newspaper in business since the 19th century.

About The Medium: Etching

The printing process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (incised) in the metal. In traditional pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where they want a line to appear in the finished piece, exposing the bare metal. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper (often moistened to soften it). The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print.
