Browne's complex etching was made at Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop as part of a folio of seven etchings titled, Our World Volume I. The image was inspired by Browne's visit to Africa in the early 1970s, "For Browne, who was particularly interested in studying Nigerian and Ghanian sculpture, the trip — an extended stay involving six weeks at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria with additional travel to locales including Benin and Ghana — was remarkably generative, spawning the Africa series, her second major body of work. Browne has cited the influence of environmental, emotional, and sonic landscapes on her practice" Cassie Packard, Hyperallergic, June 13, 2022
