this strange time 1
2021
collage with intaglio prints, embossing, beeswax, sumi ink
paper size: 15-1/4" x 22"

In 2020 I made a commitment to myself to reuse and upcycle as much material as possible into new work. I have drawers of old prints. The collages in this series resurrect prints from twenty years ago onward. The figures are etched out of old copper printing plates and are blind embossed onto paper cut-offs. Sumi ink and beeswax added.
