Spirit Original Engraving

8.5x11 inches

I did a number of these engravings as a set, partially as a practice run at intaglio.

They were done on Ampersand Art clayboard: an archival tempered hardboard surface coated in white clay and India ink, with an archival rating of hundreds of years.

This is one of the earlier ones, depicting a projection of self, or sometimes invisible friend, from my early childhood - my shadow self, an incarnation of anger toward humanity, distaste for being human, and my love for the forest and nature in general.
