BLOW AWAY DREAMS

A BOOK OF ETCHINGS

Two pages coming together as one. The writings and imagery of Blow Away Dreams were created by etching zinc plates in acid, the brutality of acid penetrating and exposing lines is in complete contrast to the fragile transparent silk tissue paper the final print made. The silk tissue paper is gentle and almost like fabric and is fine enough a slight breeze will blow it away, the use of that particular paper was intentional, a comment on how fragile remembrance of dreams can be. Two prints, one with words the other an image, when the translucent etchings layer upon each other both unite to become their own unique singular image. 16 individual works combine to form 24 pages of a book created to be touched.
