Artwork Description:

This lyrical and haunting etching in diptych format employed the studio techniques of intaglio, drypoint, chine colle, and aquatint on two individual zinc plates. I photographed this scene in October 1987 while traveling around the south of Spain. The scene features Moorish Fountain of The Lions at The Alhambra in Granada. An original blend of four black, oil based inks was used on RivesBFK white paper. A handmade colored mulberry bark paper from Thailand, one infused with kozo threads and treated with methyl cellulose, was used in the chine colle process, which gives the sky its pink color. Each plate size was 8 inches high by 6 inches wide, or 20.3cm by 15.2cm. This print is from the first of three editions, and there are only ten prints in this edition. Only the first edition has been printed, and the remaining two will be completed after the first Autumn Full Moon of 2019. Please note that this etching is shipped to the collector with a frame and mat. A sturdy cardboard box is employed for shipping the work. The Absolute Arts Dot Com price includes all handling costs, shipment supplies, and the cost of the shipment box. Frame size is 16 by 20 inches.
