Copper etching in black on white paper

5.5 x 3.5″

On the Border is an etching based on an original landscape drawing done of a creek that marks the border between two states. Reflection following an unexpected illness in late fall prompted me to return to etching copper plates, the metal that first attracted me to printmaking. A harder substance that requires slow-biting ferric acid, copper draws out the production process but allows the artist to work in greater detail and delve deeper into the quality of line. The result is always worth the wait. Copper creates its own magical world, a visual link to printmakers of the past.
