Original etching by American printmaker Elaine Bartholomew Rothwell (1926–2011). This piece is a quintessential exploration of figure-ground ambiguity. The composition challenges cognitive perception, inviting the viewer into a dynamic, kaleidoscopic dialogue between positive and negative space An exceptional statement piece for collectors of 20th-century studio craft or modern West Coast printmaking.
Sourced from the personal collection of enamel artist Eve Paige Spencer, whose work is held by the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College, and her husband, writer and art collector Donner Spencer. This minimalist etching reflects the pared-down, perceptual work they gravitated toward.
