cooks river offcuts
The following etchings are 'impressions' that maybe further redone at a later stage. The majority of these prints are from plastic plates. I have been experimenting with plastic to see what can be done with it and just so happened was using Cooks River as subject matter.
Dante's Beatrice at Cooks River.
B&W. 4"X3". zinc plate.
The image is of a freind who often jogs with a big floppy red hat which reminds me of medieval headgear. Thus as she runs around a large river curve it has allowed me to pretend that I am in Tuscany.
Riverbank. Cooks River. B&W. 2,5"X 1". plastic plate.
Fallen Angel. Cooks River. 1"X2.5" B&W. plastic drypoint.
Cooks River silhouette. B&W. 5"X4". plastic plate.
Simply an exercise in 'sketching' positive and negative space.
