SCREAMING PARIS SKY
IN COLOR # 1
Oil-based etching ink (black, Charbonnel brand from France) on Rives BFK
White paper (France) with colored overlay mulberry bark papers from
Thailand (Unryu)
Size framed: 12 by 16 inches (30.5 cm by 40.6 cm)
The etching techniques used in this print
include intaglio, aquatint, and chine colle. The image is from a
photograph I took in Paris atop Notre Dame Cathedral. The print has an
edition of thirty; fifteen regular and fifteen with color overlay process.
The later prints become one-of-a-kind etchings, as the mulberry bark
colored papers used in the chine colle process differ between works and
are hand-cut and printed. This is from my GARGOYLES SERIES, which also
falls in the "Sacred Places / Mysterious Spaces Series." |
