Difficult paths and dead ends

These are the latest Etchings . Originally from old postcards they have now become interconnected through the pathways across them – mirroring and turning into floating platforms impossible spaces through the landscape.  Ive just been reading Simon Schama’s landscape and memory and found Raffaele schiaminossi’s etchings of the sacred mountain of  St Francis of Assisi – with little flaps and frontispieces that open out …more ideas to work with. As usual im extending these spaces through double printing and chin collé. Not sure how these are going to feed into the main body of work but they have been great for me to really define my etching practice.
