Mezzotint
6.5” x 22”
Edition of 10
I started working with mezzotint twelve years ago. Its sculptural quality continues to challenge my abilities to create light and form, a third dimension out of a two dimensional space. My home is in the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona an environment that can appear inhospitable with the driest of driest heat yet it teems with a vast complexity of life. A desert place where outwardly plant life allures and repels everything is adorned with spines and hooks. Even in death cacti metamorphosis reveals amazingly complex sculptural skeleton structures. All a part of our web of life revealing a contradictory beauty that is both guarded and repelling, fragile and beckoning. As we have become more and more immersed in a world of two dimensional screens we humans do not take time to stop, listen, look deeply into this wondrous world. I would like to think my mezzotints manage to capture a momentary glimpse of life’s miracle and the gift of being here.
