Artist Smit takes the properties of the plate as a starting point. Her etchings are composed of whimsical, seemingly coincidental drawn lines and solitary surfaces. Spontaneity is kept in hand, because the different elements are combined in balanced compositions. Her working method emphasizes the raw craftsmanship of the drypoint technique, which enhances expressiveness. In addition to graphics, Marjan also makes oil paintings and robust glass objects.
Source Hans Dornseiffen: What is so special about the works of artist Marjan Smit?
Etching uses acid/lye to bite the drawing into a sheet of metal. Marjan does not use this technique. She draws/scratches with a sharp marker (a burin) on a metal plate, creating a groove and a raised edge where the ink remains and thus makes a print. This technique is called 'dry needling'. Printing an etching is done in stages and is quite laborious ().
