Landline Blue
A monumental composition of horizontal bands of colour, this etching showcases Scully's mastery of printmaking techniques to achieve rich, atmospheric layers of blue, grey, and earth tones. The interplay of aquatint, spit bite, and sugar-lift creates subtle variations in texture and tone within each stripe, evoking both the vast expanse of landscape and the horizon where land meets sky. Scully's signature vocabulary of bold, abutting bands is rendered here with a warmth and depth that speaks to his enduring exploration of colour, materiality, and emotional resonance.
