Ralitza Ranguelova is a printmaker whose work explores intimate choreographies between figures and environment. Her process begins with attuning to a personal experience and creating space for an idea to emerge. From this an image comes alive and is developed through a series of drawings until its essence reaches some clarity. In translating these drawings into etchings, Ralitza finds the image intensified by the materiality of the printing processes. She enjoys the physicality of drypoint and engraving which feel akin to excavating a latent presence out of the metal plate. In subsequent stages she is guided by the needs of the plate, moving to etching, aquatint and other techniques. Multiple plates are often layered in the final stage to support the evolving emotional tone of the work.
