another solarplate etching from the Dan Welden workshop

The blacks in these solarplate etchings are profound. Each art medium forces the question of "choice" -- why this particular art form?

The answer here is simple --in my eye, this form imparts a sense of gravitas, a more intense expression that is difficult to capture in words. The velvet blacks captivate my eye; there is a sense of delightful mystery, not foreboding, but perhaps intriguing. Well, that's what I see, anyway.
