SHEILA CLARKE
In the poem, the text suggests the passing of time and this is presented as a triptych. The theme of time links through the panels, which suggest the changing seasons, the clock hands point towards sun, ice and a tree with, and then without, leaves. Dylan Thomas' birthday being in October also adds to this notion of the passage of years.
Preparatory drawings were made of found objects, clock hands, weights and a pendulum from an old regulator clock. The ferns are kitchen plants.
The triptych is etched on steel plates in ferric chloride acid, using a line drawing through hard ground, open bite and aquatint and burnishing.
