Description: HOUSE OF RESURRECTION, etching, intaglio, nostalgia, faith, architecture, print TITLE: HOUSE OF RESURRECTION Image size measures 12" high x 9" wide Framed size measures 18" high x 15" wide Artwork on archival Art paper, framed with plexiglass, archival mat, and metal frame. Backed with foam core and wired. This is #14 of an edition of 15. Please note that this piece has been in multiple shows over the years, and has traveled across the U.S. Therefore, the plexiglass may have a scratch or two, and the frame isn't perfect. However, if I were still showing this piece in galleries, I would have no hesitation in displaying it. Please look carefully at the many pictures I have posted; it's difficult to photograph because of the reflections from the plexi.. The back may have had labels affixed and removed; I have included a photo of the back. (Ruler in the photograph is not included in the purchase, it's to show the size.) Flaws identified: Minor scratches on left side of frame, minor scratch on right side of frame, minor tape marks on top and bottom of frame where I kept a piece of cardboard over the frame to protect it. Matted and framed, will ship in a box. Shipping is calculated by eBay based on size, weight, and distance from Charlottesville, VA to your address. Original artwork. This is an etching I made from a zinc plate, incorporating both photography and traditional methods of etching. I used to show extensively in galleries throughout the US, but paused my art career to raise children. My work contains images of figures to which I relate with a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. Many of my prints contain parts of old negatives shot by my relatives in the 1940s. In hundreds of negatives, my mother and my uncle are depicted as children, doing childish things. Looking at these photographs, I was struck by similarity of them and photographs taken of my brother and me as children. I saw similarities in looks, manner, and poses. I feel that using old negatives affords me the opportunity to acknowledge the traditions and gifts previous generations have made to my life as an artist. Printmaking (etching, intaglio) technique:I enjoyed the technical possibilities of combining drawing marks made by hand and images delineated by light during a photographic process. I projected the negatives onto a light-sensitive coating on the zinc plate to begin the image. I have found the indirectness of the intaglio medium causes it to be the most conducive means of presenting photographic images and hand-created images in the same format. The zinc plate, when inked and printed as a whole, ideally gives no clues to the piece-by-piece activity with which it was created, using both the photographic parts and handmade parts. The point of my work is not to try to make drawings look like photographs or to make photographs look like drawings, but to have a subtle blending of the two. A successful image will effectively use the best qualities of both drawing and photography. I work with the photographic image because of its innate sense of believability, and I use intaglio as my medium because I believe the altering of a photographic image can be achieved better and more expressively on the tactile, physical surface of zinc as opposed to the flatness of photographic paper. Rosin aquatints are the intaglio counterpart to the silver grains in film, being variable by using either a finely applied box dusting or a grainier hand application of the rosin. In much of my artwork, I have indicated movement by double-exposing and double-printing. Through the double exposure and double print approach, I would like to suggest what I believe to be the fundamental idea behind the family snapshot-- people, things, and feelings exist for a second or a fraction of a second and then are gone. Time moves too fast to capture, even with a camera. From smoke-free home. See pictures as they are considered part of the description and I have attempted to document any flaws. I mostly sell collectibles on this site, but have listed some of my artwork as well: See my other items!
