The Island of Za
The “Island of Za” is wordless fable written about a mythical island, a dog who misplaces friends, a girl with magical powers, and a place with magic in the air.
The story is told in 105 Dry Point Etchings printed in editions of 75. The etchings are created using a printmaking technique of the intaglio family.

Etchings (prints)
These are Drypoint etchings using a printmaking technique of the intaglio family. First, I incise the image into a copper plate with various hard-pointed instruments of sharp metal or diamond point. Ink is worked into the finished image of the plate. The residual “tone” is manipulated to give further detail and expression. These slight variations in inking make each print unique. The plate is then run through an etching press and the print is produced on archival paper. After all prints in the series have been created, the copper plate is cancelled (destroyed).
