What You See
Monday, August 9th, 2010
This etching plate was cut from a larger “found” plate. When I found the abandoned piece, this particular image jumped out at me, so when I cut the plate into smaller pieces, I saved this one out. It’s printed onto a piece of handmade paper with little strands of human hair (a lock cut from a classmate, iirc). The paper has gorgeous natural edges, and would look great floated on a black matte and framed, though right now it’s just loose.
I feel like it would be giving something away to tell you what I see when I look at the piece, instead of letting you find your own images. I will say that there’s an element of anima, of the manitou, in it for me. What do you see?
What You See, 2″x2″ etching on 6″x9″ handmade paper, $349 $272 through Sept. 14 with free shipping. $25 of your money will go to charity.

Patterns and Symbols
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
These three tiny etching plates were hand inked and arranged to go through the printing press together, creating a one-of-a-kind print. Each etching plate is only an inch or an inch and a half square, the images floating in the center of the white page.
The top plate was painstakingly inked so that each aquatinted curl of “smoke” got its own colour, and then the two subsequent plates — both etchings with added aquatint — were inked with the same colors to complement the first. Together the three separate decorative motifs give a different meaning and presentation than any one piece would singly.
Patterns and Symbols, 8″x12″ etching on watercolor paper, $299 $233 through Sept. 14 with free shipping. $30 of your money will go to charity.
