Fallen

2026 | Intaglio Prints
Soft Ground Etching and Drypoint

Fallen began as a way to revisit intaglio processes while preserving leaf imagery. I've always loved working with leaves in my monotypes, and with my first Rochester winter approaching, I've been thinking about how I won't have access to these natural materials year-round.

These two plates explore different approaches to capturing and preserving leaves through printmaking. The smaller plate uses soft ground to create a direct impression of the leaves, while the larger plate uses drypoint to translate their forms through drawn marks.
