30 years ago I worked in a printmaking studio. Although I only stayed a couple of years I managed to accumulate a large body of etchings, most of which remained in my file drawers for the next 20 years. About 10 years ago, I had begun experimenting with collage and thought about my neglected etchings. Cutting them apart I began to reassemble them into entirely new pieces, complementing parts of them with pen and ink or acrylic paint. What I love about them is not only the texture of the pieces but the process of find the pieces to complete the pictures. This past September I had a busy month with the colored etchings. Here is a sampling of some of it.
