Reaching for the Unknown
Here is a print that I completed last semester. I still havent worked with colored ink. However because I feel that the color helps support the content of most of my artwork I am manipulating the image with chine cole. This expressive image is a self portrait that was made using drypoint, aquatint in various stages, line etch, and varnish dabbling in the backgound. It was originally sketched from a photograph, and then transferred to a copper plate.

This photograph may look very familiar to those of you who have seen my prints from last semester. This photograph was taken in Martha's Vineyard a few years ago.....

"To make a fine print in the dune grass
suits me.
So long as she's along

The silver glints of our whispers
will lie on the water
as long as the moon

Stubled over
and carried off
they need only float.

If not for me then for all.

Please stay a while longer"-PH

Well, I guess I am finally going to start up this blog. I have been wanting to start one for a while, but haven't been motivated enough. I would like to make most of this about printmaking because that is the course that I am currently enrolled in. I hope to soon display some prints from intaglio and eventually get some litho's up there. I also want to put up some other art that I have worked on from paintings to photography so stay tuned. It may take a while so be patient, my digital camera is also broken, so that delays the process a bit more........but I will get to all of this eventually.
