Today I came back to print at the Grafische Werkplaats again after a few weeks away.  It was great to enter and immediately feel the energy of being back in studio. I finished carving and lacquering the third plate in the Bridge series and it was ready for the press. In this plate, I experimented with adding window screen to create a new texture on this plate.  After the ink was rolled on the surface I was excited to see the result on paper. After a few adjustments to the pressure of the etching press and the amount of ink I was pleased with the results.  

This image is the view of the Williamsburg bridge through the lens of the Manhattan bridge.  I am struck by how structures create their own composition. If you look closely at the result you may spot a hidden number which frames the Williamsburg bridge.  The steel of the bridge takes on an artistic quality when you take a moment to step back and look through it.
