Entrance Sought

A print showing an entrance to a church, with arched doorway, an arched window on either side and four small arches aboe the entrace depicting religious scenes
Dianne Langley, Entrance Sought, 2018, intaglio, ink jet, 42 x 29cm image; 60 x 42cm paper

Langley’s practice combines the real and the imagined, incorporating a tracery of line work over photographs which are edited and abstracted.

This print combines a church exterior with arcane line drawings, offering an entrance to an imagined interior space. The combinations create scenarios which are uncertain and beguiling. 

This work was created for the Print Council of Australia Print Commission 2018. Established in 1967, the PCA Print Commission offers major promotional and professional development opportunities for selected artists. It also provides a vital source of revenue for the ongoing work of the Print Council of Australia.
