Magic Forest | 7 Images
The Magic Forest Series began as a direct outcome of studying Color Viscosity Intaglio with both David Driesbach and Krishna Reddy (former assistant director of Haytor's Atelier 17). The technique combines both traditional etching and relief methods; a sculptural bas-relief printing plate carries all the color through the use of large printing rollers with different hardnesses, and modification of the viscosities of the inks.
The imagery was inspired by Gauguin, Marc, and numerous cave drawings. The exposed ribs are a reference to cave drawings, rather than being gruesome. These prints + some others were the basis of my graduate work at Northern Illinois University.
