In Continuum, Rosalyn Richards investigates accumulation, repetition, and the persistence of mark-making across time. Interlacing lines, arcs, and circular traces move across the surface like residual diagrams—suggesting measurement systems that have been repeatedly revised, erased, and re-inscribed. The warm tonal palette softens the density of marks, allowing structure and improvisation to coexist.

Executed as an etching and aquatint, the print reflects Richards’s sustained engagement with process and duration, where no single gesture dominates and meaning emerges through layering. Continuum reads less as a fixed image than as a record of ongoing activity—an abstract field shaped by rhythm, return, and gradual transformation.
