I remember watching my sister-in-law making an intaglio print when she was in art school. It's a magical process. You can never be entirely sure what you'll end up with, and then you decide if you're going to go with it, or scrap it and try again. Thanks for the reminder!
Elizabeth this piece is superb. I was with you the whole way, seeing the connections, doing a quick left turn to explore, marveling at the beauty of this exquisite art form and your writing.
Exceptional piece connecting intaglio printmaking to both geography and creative proces. Blackwood's iterative approach, never reaching a definite endpoint, mirrors the exploratory nature of the Labrador itself as a landscape that resists easy categorization. I've seen some of his work exhibit years back and the way he captured that cold-water mysticism stuck with me. The paralell to 'what lies beneath' works on multiple levels here.
