Becky Haughton’s work considers recollections of landscape via digital and traditional drawing and printmaking processes. Becky's three panel waterfall etching explores the interaction of homogenous digital marks with the degrading and softening effects of traditional acid etching to reconstruct a beautiful place with a sense of the uncanny. The image is built from a combination of drawings and what was initially a one plate etching grew to three plates in the making, creating a layered space. Becky graduated from Falmouth University with a BA Fine Art (drawing & printmaking) in 2006, where she is now the Lead Technician in Printmaking. She was shortlisted for Northern Print’s International Print Biennale in 2011 and invited to exhibit a solo show at the Customs House, Tyneside as part of the 2014 IPB. Her photopolymer printmaking featured in Dan Weldon’s Solar Impressions exhibition in New York 2019 and her mokulito prints in Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2021 and 2022.
