I really like how these two etchings look together. I have them overlapping one another on a shelf in my room and the way the geometric shapes of the building and the direction of the tree, compliment the delicate creepiness of the hands is great.
The etching of the hands was one I created in my Intro to Printmaking last semester. I traced a photograph 3 separate times to emphasize different wrinkles and highlights on the hands. I struggled slightly with the acid biting the plate too much because it took out more zinc than the seconds I planned for it to stay in the acid.
This other etching is from another student in my class. She asked me for a copy of my print, and I thought it would be great for us to exchange. No matter who we turn out to be in the future, we will have something that we created on our own from the past.
