I love this art form.
The endless possibilities of extreme contrasts are fascinating. It's a challenge to create feeling or character or soul in black and white. Using a razor blade to bring those things out in my etchings is incredibly satisfying. The dips, nicks and grooves left by the blades create tangible emotions, rough patches you can feel and see. Don't put them under glass!! You should see and touch my boards. Set them in an easel or hang them on the wall. Framing is fine, but not necessary! |
