My Mother with Shadows is a 2002 by Celia Paul, depicting Mother, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Celia Paul’s *My Mother with Shadows* (2002) is a soft-ground etching depicting her mother, a frequent subject in her work. The print belongs to a series of intimate, subdued portraits created after Paul shifted her technique from hard-ground to soft-ground etching to achieve a pencil-like delicacy. Produced in collaboration with Dorothea Wight at Studio Prints, the work is noted for its ethereal, otherworldly quality. The composition emphasizes quiet introspection, characteristic of Paul’s spare and contemplative style.
