Ensemble Etchings

The prints included here are a sample of multi-figured images that exist within a broader landscape.  The approach for each is similar, I have been fascinated with the imaginative scope of works such of this.  it may be born of listening to REM as a young man and listening to their multi-layered songs that I could not quite make sense of.  Illusions, allegories, and associations are constructed, purposely, yet allowing space for the viewer to make connections on their own.
–
Although similar each work is radically different and informed by different ideas. They do share a connection with the world.  The two pictures here are from a series of big Blue human landscapes.  Others on this page are specifically political, others a social comment, some are small, some dry-points, most large intricate aquatints.  In the end it is difficult to have them be the same as my imagination can only construct, at most, a few a year. So the works change with my interests and the things in the world that engage me.
