Trained in Fine Art in the DJCAD (Duncan of Jordanston College of art and design Dundee, graduated 2021) Hannah Feuerstein works in her printmaking studio in the north of Scotland, focusing on the development and refinement of electro etching techniques. Zinc and copper plates are etched using the basic principles of electro- chemistry instead of harmful acids. Herby there are no fumes, residue or waste solution generated. With the electro etching process no aquatint is needed as the plate tints automatically. (open bite electro-tint). The plate preparation is similar to traditional etching, as is the printing of the etched plate. Hannah experiments with different grounds and electro etching techniques to achieve rich textures and tones cutting out the harmful elements and grounds used in traditional etching.
Inspired by tales of shape shifting women in folklore, she is currently working on a series of small electro etchings. Often possessing powers that frighten and estrange, creatures such as selkies, harpies and gorgons are mostly portrayed as hideous and evil. Despite their half human appearance stories paint them as not quite human enough to be pitied for their mostly gruesome and brutal fate. This body of work is a retelling and reclaiming of these powerful women as inspiration and role models for contemporary society.
