Engraving

I'm crazy about acetate engraving. Why? Because it captures every scratch, every detail and still makes beautiful blurs. The dirt I intentionally leave in these prints is what enchants me the most. Dirt transmits an air of reality to me, where life is not perfect and most of the time we find ourselves with turbid eyes.
My prints have a visceral relationship with photography. I use photography as an outline of what I want to engrave. I extract what I find pertinent and intensify parts that I consider essential.
