Experimenting with Mezzotint

The fingerprint print came from my first mezzotint plate (not sure I rocked it long enough); the second image is of just the copper plate with ink, as the plate isn't finished yet.

Peace cranes; many more to go!

Experimenting with Mezzotint-here's the plate

The following will be a sequence of images projected from inside a semi-transparent backpack

July 2010 - Chromosomes

Chromosome 4-burnt vellum layers

Chromosome 5 - burnt vellum layers

Truncated #4-burnt vellum

Chromosome 13-burnt vellum layers

If all goes well and as planned (hoped for), the above chromosome pieces (sizes 5x5" or smaller) will be part of a large installation of about 30-40+ hanging pieces, backlit. Most chromosome images will be sandwiched between thick plexi, but others may hang freely. The pieces will be of varying sizes as well.
