Intaglio print on paper

h: 15 w: 20 d: 1 (cms).

Photo etching on copper. Dry negative-film, double exposed with a stochastic aquatint screen and a positive slide. Etched with Iron III chloride. Printed on my ABIG 17030 press with Akua intaglio ink carbon black on Hahnemühle paper 350 g/m2, soft surface, natural white. I live in a small fishing village on the German coast, right where the Weser estuary opens into the North Sea. At high tide, shallow water covers the tidal creeks and sands of the mudflats. With the changes of light and wind (or a passing cargo ship in the fairway at the horizon), the patterns of the waves vary permanently, offering multiple opportunities to capture the moment.

Along the North Sea coast, constant work is required to protect the land behind the dyke. Fascines are used to retain silt and create areas where plants can take root. Not every attempt to reclaim land is successful, often rows of old, weathered and overgrown fascines remain that lead nowhere – their strong contrasts and negative contours creating an irresistible graphic motif.

In summer, the corkscrew hazel is just a green mess of leaves, from autumn on it reveals all its intricately tangled branches and later, as a sign of early spring, the first allergy-inducing catkins.
