Teresa Schippel Hales
Printing
Teresa takes inspiration from nature; the interplay of sunlight, the formation of shadows & silhouettes, reflections in water; from puddles to the sea. And the sky; clouds, dramatic & threatening or light & insubstantial, creating a unique & limitless visual theatre. She is also drawn to functional manmade objects; beauty in the mundane: padlocks, keys, tools, bikes, books, tables & chairs. Not solely attracted by the forms & textures of the objects themselves, but also to the relationship between positive & negative, by their compositional qualities.
Teresa’s prints & etchings are predominantly based on photographs & drawings in the UK & abroad. She edits these images digitally, focussing on a heavily contrasted black & white end-result, which she develops as either photo etchings or transfer lift etchings.
