Tracing the Line in the Alhambra’s Haunted Court of Poets
Printmaking (Etching)/Oil-based printer’s ink
on Fabriano cream-colored paper
My etchings employ the techniques of INTAGLIO, AQUATINT, and
DRY-POINT;
I also incorporate the Chine collé process in many
of my etchings. This diptych was produced using two zinc
plates placed side by side on the press; seven separate acid
baths were required. All of my etchings are hand printed. I
produce limited editions, with each edition printed in a
different color paper/ink combination. This edition uses a
mixture of bronze, violet and
burnt sienna French printing
inks. The imagery is from a photo I shot in Granada, Spain, at
the Alhambra.
