Church Window is a striking etching from The Skinningrove Suite by Kane Cunningham, a deeply evocative series inspired by the artist's exploration of the history and community of Skinningrove. Limited to just 66 signed pieces, this artwork captures Cunningham’s powerful emotional response to the industrial decline and the profound impact it had on the village and its people.
Drawing from the archives of the Land of Iron museum, Church Window reflects the artist’s connection to the once-prosperous town, now shadowed by the closure of its mines and steelworks. Cunningham’s intricate etching technique, involving scraping, gouging, and biting deep into the metal plate, mirrors the physical and emotional labour of the miners who shaped the landscape in search of iron ore. The result is a work that not only speaks to the historical significance of the village but also conveys the personal and social turmoil brought on by industrial change.
Through Church Window, Cunningham offers a perspective on resilience, faith, and memory, creating an image that resonates with both past and present. Each print, hand-pressed with ink into the etched grooves, carries the weight of the landscape’s topography and the stories it holds.
This limited edition of 66 signed etchings is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Cunningham's exploration of Skinningrove’s heritage, blending artistic craft with deep historical reflection. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike, Church Window stands as a moving testament to the enduring connection between place, people, and time.
