CHURCH OF THE SACRED EMPTINESS, etching, intaglio, architecture, print

Description: CHURCH OF THE SACRED EMPTINESS, etching, intaglio, architecture, print TITLE: Church of the Sacred Emptiness Image size measures (plate size) 20" tall by 16" wide Note the paper size varies, allowing room around the edges of the plate during the printing process, creating a border. (Etchings are usually framed with a mat, which hides the border, but this item is unframed). This is #1 of an edition of 12. Black ink on BFK Rieves Art paper Original artwork. This is an etching I made from a zinc plate, incorporating both photography and traditional methods of etching. I used to show extensively in galleries throughout the US, but paused my art career to raise children. Unframed, will ship in a tube.(Ruler in the photograph is not included in the purchase, it's to show the size.) My work contains images of figures to which I relate with a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. Printmaking (etching, intaglio) technique:I enjoyed the technical possibilities of combining drawing marks made by hand and images delineated by light during a photographic process. I projected the negatives onto a light-sensitive coating on the zinc plate to begin the image. I have found the indirectness of the intaglio medium causes it to be the most conducive means of presenting photographic images and hand-created images in the same format. The zinc plate, when inked and printed as a whole, ideally gives no clues to the piece-by-piece activity with which it was created, using both the photographic parts and handmade parts. This piece includes a lot of the soft-ground and lift-ground techniques. From smoke-free home. See pictures as they are considered part of the description and I have attempted to document any flaws. I mostly sell collectibles on this site, but have listed some of my artwork as well: See my other items!
