Etched Italia
Process: Etched on Richeson #695102 press
Media: Ink on rag paper
Year: 2023
Taking rubbings from Italian monuments, gravestones, signs, found objects- eventually became the shadowing tones for travel-journal sketches. Pulling an image from a centuries old monument, felt like a sort of time-travel, as they assumed a new and contemporary role. The series of small etchings below are quick-capture moments from Genoa, Rome, Calabria, Volterra, Scopello, Palermo. Ancient monuments in service of new ideas.
