Mosquito

Edition: Limited Edition

Maisie McNeice’s "Mosquito" is a meticulously detailed etching that transforms a familiar yet often overlooked insect into a work of fine art. The fine lines and soft tonal shifts of aquatint and drypoint techniques give the mosquito an almost mechanical elegance, its delicate wings and elongated legs appearing both organic and surreal. The small floating orbs add a sense of weightlessness, as if the creature exists in a dreamlike space between nature and imagination.

McNeice’s work is known for its precise craftsmanship and ability to reframe natural elements in unexpected ways, and this piece is no exception. The rich blacks and soft paper textures further enhance the ethereal quality of the print, making it an ideal piece for collectors of natural history-inspired or contemporary printmaking works.
