2017. Hard ground etching with Hawthorne inks on cartridge paper.

Neither verticals nor horizontals correspond to thirds lines. Balance is achieved here through the echoing of cshapes in a different tone – the light rectangle on the left with the blue rectangle of the right, and the curve of the dark shape on the left with the curve of the white ‘windonw’ at the back on the left.

Dark is printed upside down and very dark. Higher contrast between the dark and mid-tone makes the front shapes look interestingly as if they are flying in 3D. This effect is more pronounced than in the blue and red equivalents of this image because the green is lighter and cooler. These are also fewer ditracting texture lines in the centre. The image is very strangely balanced by the diagonal lines. The total area of dark on right and left is roughly the same.

Part of the series of overlapped inverted prints. This looks like a dynamic mountain ski scene. I like the varying overlapping textures. There is a rough balancing of colours and tones down the vertical middle of the image. Further balance is achieved through the echoing of shapes.

Monochrome print overprinted with the dark tone upside down. This makes a better print than the green because the contrast between the blues and the cream paper is less. So it looks more natural. Although there is not clerar repetition of shapes, the dark tones became balanced through the inversion.
