"On the Move" is about mankind's endless search for new, life-fulfilling experiences in various remote surroundings, in this case in the Antarctic.

Irene's print was made by a non-toxic etching process using photopolymer film.  A thin, light-sensitive layer is fixed to an aluminium plate and exposed to UV light along with a transparency made by the artist.  The process produces an intaglio plate similar to those made by traditional acid etching, now widely regarded as an inherently toxic method.

Iréne Jensen is a member of the Icelandic printmaking group "Grafikvinnustofan".  She has a BA in fine art printmaking and has worked extensively in Sweden as well as in Iceland.  She has also exhibited in Germany, the Faroe Islands, Spain, Bulgaria, the US, the Czech Republic and Yugoslavia.
