Known as Mongibello, Muncibeddu, mamma Etna, and Aetna (in classic Greek, sharing its name with the nymph and goddess, Aetna), Mount Etna is the home of countless Greek and Sicilian legends. In this performance to camera, the artist explores her relationship with the volcano and its multiplicities.

In (Untitled) ETNA Blackstock explains: ‘I dug back a layer of snow to reveal a little of the flank of mother Etna beneath, over 2000 metres above sea level. Etna is an active volcano in Sicily, standing at over 3,300 metres. The work is about practising intimacy with nature; being held. Sweeping away crusts. Finding warmth in impossible landscapes, yearning ‘skin’, low, silent subterranean breathing. I embed myself in Etna (now cold, but still here) after seeing her in the distance every day and sharing Catania as a home, with her.’
