Margaret Ashman I Am Strong (1), 2020 Phototransfer and Monoprint on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Margaret Ashman is a printmaker whose work is a meditation on the unseen, spiritual, emotional and otherness of life. Using photographs or video stills, sometimes layering images from multiple sources she creates pieces in which a solitary dancer fills or interacts with a space. Dancers or Deaf signers are photographed performing contemporary dance or signing to particular songs or texts. She also works from video stills of dancers, always gaining the permission of the dance artist first. The manipulated imagery is transferred to multiple etching plates using traditional acids and aquatint, imparting a particular textural quality to the finished prints. She lives and works in London.
