Holly Downiing studied mezzotint in London with Lawrence Josset. She rocks her own plates and prints her own prints, such as this simple yet mysterious image of a squash from the garden. An illustration of her method can be found in the Carol Wax book "The Mezzotint, History and Technique", page 187.
