SENTINELS
Sentinels are guardians of their domain. They are found in lofty cathedrals, perched on rooftops and pillars and in caves covered with moss. For me, these beings are characters in a drama; they have survived time and are more beautiful because of it. They are part of a growing collection of images that I am drawn to and run the gamut from the angelic to the monstrous. They have inhabited graceful architecture and public forums, appreciated by many as they gently or theatrically hold court.
These 10 x 8 prints are made from polymer etching plates that are sensitive to ultraviolet light. My original photographs are exposed on metal plates with a light box. After the plate is made, I use traditional etching methods to create an edition varié of twenty prints in which each print is one of a kind using the same plate as a matrix. A narrow range of color creates a collection that works individually and in groups.
