"Walking Through Times Square" - New York City, New York original art, 17"x21" hand-pulled, photographic etching print of my experience of walking through Times Square.
To make my photographic montage etchings, I start by taking photos of buildings and signs I want to use, then I compose my scenes on the computer creating a photomontage, fitting the most culturally significant objects together like a puzzle into a cohesive scene.
To make the etching plates, I use a polymer photogravure technique to translate the photographic elements into printed form and then combine several plates into a single scene. I ink the plates with Akua water-based ink, and print them on Rives BFK cotton-based paper. Each square in the artwork is a different plate. It all comes together when I run the final through on an etching press – pictured above.
Each print is numbered, hand-signed, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
*I have one available framed and ready to hang in a lovely simple black float-mounted frame. Email me for price and delivery options. (the listing price is for unframed prints)*
