Heart of Life Etching
Heart of Life Etching
$85.00
This is an editioned etching done on a copper plate, using scribe tools, aquatints and a creeping-water bite. It is printed in a hand mixed, burnt-sienna and sanguine color on heavy German Etch paper.
Each step of the process is done by hand, from the polishing of the copper to the cutting of the plate and engraving the plate. This plate went through 10 different stages in acid baths. The paper is hand torn and pushed through a press that exerts about 1400 pounds of pressure per square inch, pressing the image into the paper.
• Hand-pulled print on heavyweight German Etch paper
