This abstract print was created using a combination of etching techniques - a line etch, sugar lift, and aquatint. The plate follows the same theme as my other "Dimension" plates - exploring the exactness of geometry with the uncertainty inherit in quantum physics. In the "6th Dimension," sharp lines give way to circles that cannot quite stay circular, with rough channels (formed by the sugar lift) and exact shaded triangles (aquatint) bringing back a sense of order to the image.
The plate and the ink (Charbonnel black etching ink) reinforce each other to bring out subtle details. The plate is printed on an orange chine colle background extending beyond the mat. This creates a unique effect beyond a straightforward print on white paper.
This print is unique (one of one), produced in 2016. The image is printed on 11" by 15" BFK Rives paper and orange chine colle. These are archival-quality paper and inks.
This complete 6th Dimension - B print is finished with a double-thick white mat to a standard size of 18" x 14" to fit pre-made frames. It is shipped bagged with a foam board backing. order
