In her installations titled In Silence, a charred grand piano sits at the heart of a room woven through with black thread, and she has linked it to a childhood memory of a neighbour's house burning. The print goes back a step to the moment of the fire itself: the instrument still whole, its lacquer catching the light, smoke and flame rising like a sound no one can hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeliogravure, a photogravure process etched from a photographic image, gives the sheet its velvety blacks and soft, smoky greys. The image sits on a generous margin of warm white paper with a deckled edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet is offered as signed and numbered in pencil, as the description states; the signature shows at the lower right and the number at the lower left, partly masked in the photographs.
