Engravings
Dimensions in N Space: Implurialistic Phasm
This is an engraving directly scribed with a carbide point in a pen-holder
onto a thin aluminum offset letterpress printing plate .
It is approximately 20 inches by 30 inches and took eight or nine months to complete.
It reflects and shimmers light, depending on the viewing angle and light source,
giving it the appearance of deep dimension.
I gave it a strange and futuristic name to fit the sensation it projects.
It was a commission for a friend.

Silvernight
An engraving on a bluegreen piece of an aluminum offset printing plate.
I did this for a show at the Chicago Art Institute Sales and Rental Gallery in the early 1980's.
Stars blending into and behind stars, planet shapes and the border intrustions on the top, bottom and sides.
The border was done with a straight edge, the circles with templates and the stars were done freehand.
It is 22" by 15" framed and took three weeks of intense, time consuming effort.

This was a gift for my Father many years ago.

Ephemerwraith/Silent Flight
This was done on a blank copper plate.
The staining was done with a chemical solution and the black, fog-like coloration is black Magic marker.
This is an etching print from a plate I made while taking an etching class at the local Recreation Center
while I was between (day) jobs.
