About this work

Celia Paul’s *My Mother and Me* is a soft-ground etching. The print shows her mother seated front and center while Paul herself appears in the background, peering shyly from a doorway. The artist worked closely with printer Marc Balakjian. They used soft-ground etching to blur the image, giving it a watercolor-like softness. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
