etching, 8"x10" SOLD

About the piece:
The process used to create this etching involved coating a nickel plate in beeswax, and scratching a drawing in the wax with a fine metal tool. The plate is then dropped into an acid bath, which etches the exposed metal. After the plate is cleaned, it is inked and run through a press.

Only six prints were produced with this design. The plate has since been destroyed.
