Artwork description:

This series of abstract etchings feel almost antique for me, since it is from another century - made 1999 ;-)

It is a very exclusive series! It only contains 10 pieces of which every print is different from the other one. As a matter of fact I treated every print individually so that they all would become unique pieces. On top of it the prints cannot be remade as I destroyed the original copper plate (printing plate).

The motif itself – the organic structures and archaic lines correspond to this historic printing method, all in all it seems from another time, a time capsule.

Even the surface, the off-white paper has a distinct character, it is handmade (Büttenpapier) and the marks and traces add up to the character.

> > > THIS VERSION (5)...
is a early version, using only lines (unlike verions 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), it is very balanced with a rather harmonic use of color and density.

P.S. It gets full attention when displayed in a passepartout and a simple wooden frame - like simulated in the first picture (might not be in scale).

Materials used:

hand made paper
