Only Flowers is a hauntingly beautiful etching from Kane Cunningham’s The Skinningrove Suite, a limited edition of 66 signed pieces. This artwork presents a poignant contrast between the delicate beauty of flowers and the harsh industrial landscape of Skinningrove, symbolising resilience and renewal in the face of change.
Cunningham’s etching technique, characterised by deep lines and textured detail, captures the fragile blooms growing in an environment once dominated by iron, steel, and mining. The flowers stand as symbols of hope and regeneration, pushing through the scars of industry that have left their mark on the land. The intricate etching process, where the metal plate is scraped, gouged, and etched with acid, mirrors the transformation of the landscape itself, as nature reclaims what was once the heart of industrial activity.
Dark ink fills the grooves, contrasting the softness of the flowers with the rugged terrain that surrounds them. Only Flowers reflects Cunningham’s exploration of the coexistence of beauty and decay, a reminder of the enduring power of nature to heal and transform even the most desolate of places.
As part of The Skinningrove Suite, this limited edition etching offers collectors and art enthusiasts a thoughtful meditation on the themes of rebirth and recovery. Only Flowers is a touching representation of the subtle yet powerful ways in which life persists amidst the remnants of industry.
