Zero Sum #22


Zero Sum #22


Zero Sum #22, another original etching, is the latest piece in the Zero Sum Art Project that is up for auction on eBay.

This is the second etching I've made using solarplate, and I'm really enjoying the process. The major drawback is that the plates can't be reworked like a traditional etching plate, which limits the amount of plate history in the image, which is one of the major attractions of etching for me. So I imagine that I will use this technique primarily to add photographic material to more complex collage/multiple printing element images in the future. But I am really happy with my first couple of plates as stand-alone pieces!
