Artwork Description:

Title is Christ s Face in Thin Space. This one of a kind, mixed media work was created by combining etching and mono printing. I hand printed it at The Center for Works on Paper, 705 Christian Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US, which is part of The Fleisher Art School. This individual work is part of the artist’s VEIL OF VERONICA series created within THE OPEN STUDIO IN PRINTMAKING. The narrative is based on Christ s execution on Good Friday. On His way to Calvary, Christ stopped in front of a woman named Veronica, who stepped out from the crowds and wiped the blood and dirt from His face with her veil. According to Early Christian legend, an exact facial imprint of was transferred onto the cloth. THE ETCHING PORTION OF THIS ARTWORK WAS EXECUTED ON A ZINC-PLATESEVERAL NITRIC ACID BATHS WERE EMPLOYED TO OBTAIL THE FINAL RESULT. Media include Silk screen ink, oil-base etching ink with silver metallic pigments, ACRYLIC PAINT, and Stonehenge brand printmaking paper now made in USA, color-BLACK. The price DOES NOT INCLUDE a frame or mat. The original print, unframed size is about 15 inches wide by 11 inches wide.
