Etchings 8
dusk till dawn
Mysterious, dark and eerily alluring, this issue of Etchings, ‘Dusk till Dawn', seeks out stories that lurk within the shadows, words and images luring you into a realm of honest and raw emotion. From both established and emerging writers comes an edition of obscure and seductive writing and art. A.S. Patric returns in this issue with ‘The Wife', a curious story where nameless characters draw you into a world of obsession. Meanwhile, Prue Gibson's unsettling essay, ‘Rapture of Death', confronts the reader with issues of mortality and the morbid fascination that often surround death. Winner of the My Brother Jack short story award in 2009, Michelle Braunstein's ‘Vanish all Things' looks at the darker side of Tokyo and how a young woman's experiences allow her to accept the impermanence of all things, and the ability to let go of those we love. William McCormick's haunting photographs leave a lasting impression: ‘each pose is a jagged step in a woman's journey, her persona partially defined by the paint, lighting and photography of the men around her.' Equally captivating, Andrew Browne's series of images delves into ‘the mutable and intangible nature of darkness and light, shadow and luminosity, the perceptible and the void.' Browne masters the art of photorealism, flaunting deceptive paintings indistin-guishable from photographs. Prepare to lose yourself in the dark as Etchings 8 draws you in from dusk till dawn. | Paperback - 204pp |
