Agathe Bouton

My work draws on engraving and etching techniques, and uses color that appears in different halftones, shades, and densities. Color and textiles have always had important roles in my work because they create impressions of light, people, and pigment. My artwork explores themes of identity, history, humanity, of progress and of decay and deterioration, transmuting it all into beauty, serenity, story, and hue. Both the complexity and the element of chance of the techniques and process I use echo the themes I strive to express.
