Artwork description:

The psychedelic, surrealist imagery in “Trying To Stay Positive” shows a human figure entangled with the digital world. Modern life is constantly mediated by technology. This image tries to visually represent that experience by using the visual language and techniques of anatomy illustrations while processing that information through digital aesthetics.

Materials used:

copper plate, ferric chloride, etching needle, soft ground, aquatint, etching press, printmaking paper, intaglio ink, tarlatan
