Zinc Etching and Sugar Lift Aquatint
h: 17 w: 26 d: 1 (cms).
This is work of science fiction, but with retro elements. Years after a major war similar to World War I on their moon, an alien heads in a biplane from the mountains towards civilisation. The mountain and forest are inspired by Chinese ink paintings, but the forest also contains fungus-like trees based on ancient prototaxites from the Silurian to Devonian eras, way before the Carboniferous (these were not plants, and they may or may not have been fungi - possibly a similar but still separate kingdom of life that once was). The illumination of the landscape is with yellow relief ink and Prussian Blue was chosen for the inset colour for greater contrast.
