I love this print. It is one of a series I did in art school from five plates, using aquatint, intaglio, drypoint, stencils. Each one was unique and depended on the order and orientation of the plates, the colors of the inks and the wiping. I have sold one of them, maybe two. One hangs in my analyst's office, one my sister has one in NY (and a beautiful job she did framing it, too) and one my friend Debbie has but I don't know if she has framed it yet. I have two left and I take them out once a year at least to look at. That is the thing about prints, though, they do need to be framed and framed well or it almost isn't worth it. One of the prints I have left is on a big piece of paper that is a bit wrinkled and really needs to be dampened and pressed - a process I know very little about. But in the digital world, no one can hear you wrinkle.
If I had the money I would frame one. (Actually, if I had the money I would help pay the mortgage or buy a few huge canvases or put more memory on my Mac or about a dozen other things)
This post is the thing, you know. For me to write about my work openly, to really say what I think about it...what works what doesn't according to my lights and no one else. . . . well, that is what I am here to do.
I think this print is fabulous.
