Artwork Description:
Print ONE of FIVE Edition ONE of THREE. Media include black, oil based etching ink RivesBFK white paper, mulberry bark paper infused with kozo threads from Thailand, and methyl cellulose. The Studio Techniques employed were intaglio, drypoint, and Chine colle. This work is a ballet of curved and straight lines in a chaotic harmony with geometry and dream. Six Nitric acid baths were required to achieve the end-results. I used one zinc plate whose size was eight inches wide by six inches high, or 20.32cm by 15.240cm. The print measures 15 inches wide by 11 inches high. Hard and soft grounds were used in the intaglio process. Please note that this etching is shipped and sold to the buyer without a frame or mat. This keeps the price reasonable and also allows the collector a wide range of choice in framing selection. For shipment, a sturdy cardboard box is employed. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping box and securely packed with bubble wrap. The price includes packaging and handling, but shipment costs are added. Shipment not included in price.
