VENETIAN PRINTS
These Venetian prints explore waves of water and glass as they distort and reveal the city and its architecture. In canals, the city is reflected upside down, in constant motion. In the palaces, light shifts through gauzy drapes reflecting onto patterns on the floor. The images range on a continuum from representational to impressionistic to abstract.
These 10 x 8 prints are made from polymer etching plates that are sensitive to ultraviolet light. My 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.
