Frances Hodgson Burnett establishes the Robin as a guardian of the garden. In Care Keepers, Theresa’s work calls into question how humankind can assume the role of caregiver for the earth. Simultaneously, the Robin is a gatekeeper, guiding Mary to the key and granting her access. By showing the key in the subject’s hand, Theresa asks us to question how land stewardship and accessibility can intersect.
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
