About the edition
This large-scale etching by Ilana Halperin, editioned at DCA Print Studio, formed part of her solo exhibition Steine at the Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum der Charité in 2012, together with sculptures, film and the woodblock print series Geologic Intimacy.
My work explores the relationship between geological phenomena and daily life. Drawing parallels between very personal events, for example when I was born or when my father died, with the birth of a volcano, allows for a space to think about our place within the geological time continuum from a more intimate perspective.
