Portland Icons - 8x10 Etching on Wood Panel

Regular price $75.00

"Portland Icons" - Portland, Oregon original art, 8"x10" hand-pulled, photographic etching print mounted on wood panel - Ready to Hang Art! Printed using a sepia tone ink. 

It has all of the quintessential icons in the city of Portland.

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.
