Artwork description:

The etching "Schatzkarte" ('treasure map' in German) is part of a series of prints including "Homelands", "Towards the Sea" and "Free World" looking at the importance of location and places in our personal life from a wider view point than just the geographical. “Schatzkarte” shows a birds-eye view of an imagined place in the format of an old battered map. I like to look at the image as a ‘roadmap’ guiding you along the challenges that life can bring.
The steel plate has been cut by hand to achieve its curvy plate edge.
Each print is an original, hand printed on acid free fine art printing paper.

Materials used:

steel plate, etching process, aquatint, printing press, fine art paper, inks
