The figure in this print is distanced from the viewer, shown in silhouette and deliberately out of focus with its back to the camera. In this way a sense of ambiguity is created, causing the viewer to question the reality of the image. Ganter makes etchings and digital prints, and the subject of a seated figure is one she has explored previously in different scales and media. This is a three-plate photo etching, the first the artist has made using RGB (Red, Green and Blue) colour separations. The process was influenced by her recent digital work.
This print was made as part of the 40/40 exhibition in 2013, to mark 40 years of Glasgow Print Studio. 40 artists were each invited to make an edition of 40 prints, which was exhibited at Glasgow Print Studio from 24th August to 13th October 2013.
