Manhattan From Above (City of Gods) - Limited Edition of 7 Print

I attended a printmaking workshop at the Slade School of Art in summer 2019. It was a highly productive time and I became entirely focused with working on copper plates. I was learning to balance the dynamics between hard ground etching, aquatint and monotype to build images that could each be hand finished and unique. I like to work on highly detailed surfaces, particularly when dealing with a subject as energetic as a city. I also use methods to mystify and obscure the subject matters figurative nature. I think because I am preoccupied with the sensory experience of place and physicality beyond the spatial construct. I take the position of dreamy imagined viewpoint of contemplation to springboard into the depths of personal memory. New York City has always assumed a mystical place in my imagination. The City that never sleeps, rising out of the ocean on solid rock. Bristling with fragments of so many different momentary glimpses. In this print, I made it dark, floating on the surface sea with electric white light. By restricting the chromatic noise to black and white, I think it lends it a sense of the static energy rising out of the buildings and inhabitants.
