Title
Blue
Engraving
Description
Intaglio
print
on
paper
.
British
sculptor
and
printmaker
of
Chinese
birth
. She
grew
up
in
Singapore
and at the
age
of
18
decided
to
go
to
London
to
study
at
Saint
Martin’s
School
of
Art
(1954–6)
where
she
took
a
particular
interest
in
wood-carving
; she then
transferred
to the
Slade
School
of
Art
,
where
she
concentrated
on
printmaking
,
graduating
in
1960
.
Whilst
at
college
she
often
travelled
through
Asia
and
Europe
en
route
back
to
Singapore
, with
Indian
and
South-East
Asian
sculpture
and
spirituality
making
a
great
impact
on her
work
.
While
Lim
always
acknowledged
a
debt
to the
work
of
Constantin
Brancusi
in her
simplification
and
abstraction
of
forms
,
it
is
in her
concern
for the
specific
qualties
of
materials
, as in her
use
of
charred
wood
to
create
contrast
, that the
influence
of
Eastern
spirituality
and
concepts
of
balance
can
be
seen
. In
1960
she
married
the
painter
and
sculptor
William
Turnbull
,
settling
in
London
but
continuing
to
travel
widely
. In the
1960s
and
1970s
her
sculptures
were
mainly
carved
from
wood
,
using
forms
inspired
by
basic
rhythmic
forms
and
structures
, with
each
element
forming
a
balanced
whole
. Her
prints
from this
time
also
explore
these
modulations
, as in the
etchings

and

,
which
consist
of
simple
patterns
of
blocks
and
lines
