'Yesnaby Gold' - A signed, limited edition 21 colour silkscreen print by Barbara Rae. Printed at Coriander Studio, published by CCA Galleries.
Inspired by Yesnaby, an area on the west coast of Orkney mainland, 'Yesnaby Gold' exemplifies how Rae explores the culture of a place to make her art - the stories behind a landscape. The work is infused with a gentle golden light juxtaposed against the bold geometric shapes and dark tones of the fields in the foreground. Rae uses screenprints to explore the special marks, washes and layering which can be achieved with this medium.
