Artist's Comments

Talisman series.

This is the largest etching I have ever done and the largest possible size that can be printed on our huge hydraulic studio press. It is on two separate copper plates because the acid bath is not 6' long! The paper is bigger than me and the object is about as tall as I am. Such an undertaking really, really makes me appreciate the tiny plates...but, I just had to try it once. :)

etching and mezzotint. 30x72''

I think it has some "cross-like" attributes! Does that make me pretencious? Hahaha. I don't think Ikea has a frame this big dear. hehe. Hot dang though, it is a great piece. Monolithic perhaps?

Nope, not pretentious at all, that was the whole idea. :) It is my cross club, cousin to *kuksi 's church tank...muahaha.
