2A-100
Drypoint

2009

Markmaking, response, and the idea of weight in proportion to scale are defining aspects of my current work. This print, the second print in the series, A-100, is one of the results of my response to the plate's previous image by methods of scraping/burnishing the plate, aquatinting, re-aquatinting, drypoint, softground, sugarlift, open bite, and other etching techniques.

I really like that I have no idea of the functionality of the depicted structure... or if its a structure at all. There is a definite depiction of weight, mark, and proportion and it seems to be on the cusp of what's tangible and what's abstract. Like a sort of constructed play between visual semiotics, myth, and the process of making. I really like this print.
