Finding a New Ride, 2013, etching on Rives BFK White. 16.5in X 10in.

The etching above is my first attempt at using a ferric bath.    This was made for a portfolio exchange themed around “Bicycles and Community.”  The idea is to bridge a common sense of community a group of cyclists form with that of the printmaking world.  Both have a similar energy that is sparked and energized by the interaction and interests of it’s respective people.

I’m starting to edition this baby this week.

 

 

The following I started during my residency with Backspace Collective, in Peoria, Illinois.  In a hasty move to The Music City,  I had lost track of it.  You may remember seeing pictures of this from the initial beginnings.

Boom.

I’ve worked on three pieces I received from three portfolio participants.  It was nerve-wracking and very intimidating to work over their start, but I bucked up and did.  Here’s the final products!
