View Subterranea: Hammersmith

Wood engraving, 2021

One of an ongoing series of original wood engravings exploring the unique atmosphere and architecture of the stations of the London Underground.

This piece shows the District & Piccadilly line station at Hammersmith. Rebecca has utilised strong chiaroscuro effects and rich texture to create a sense of depth and space.

In contrast to earlier works in this series, daylight can be seen in this image - due to the shallow cutting in which the station sits, partially open to the elements. Although dating back to the 1870s, the station depicted here was extensively redesigned in the 1990s. Despite the modern construction, Rebecca has brought to life the sense of character and celebration of structure, a common thread through her View Subterranea series.
