From Printmaking Elective last year;

hard ground etched, then soft ground, hard ground again, water resist and aquatint...

Fully inked up; experimenting with using two colours simultainiously...

copper acid etch plate, intaglio printed

original plate size 8x8 inches


now this is the finnished image i was working for...

I will explain; this is a fairly personal and private image for me; it started off as a drawing in my sketch book, at a fairly dark time for me; things are better now, but i still find it useful to reflect on those times...
the concept of the image is reletivly simple; the angel is losing her wings through depression; the wings fall apart into blood; symbolising the deep pain and sorrow... also an analogy for my self harming, i suppose...
