I just wrapped up another printmaking class at the Garrison Art Center with Ezra Heller. This session, I focused on etching with soft ground, drypoint, aquatint, and chine collé.
These are two of my favorite pieces from the class.
I used pages from a local phone book as the collage element, layering text over the images to create an interesting contrast between the structured lines of print and the organic quality of the drawn portrait. Both are printed on archival Fabriano paper. The paper size is 7x10 inches, and the image size is 4x6 inches. I love how the delicate etching lines interact with the printed text, creating a sense of history and layering.
Both prints are available for sale at $65 each + S&H. Please email me or click here for more info.
