Piece description from the artist
I have always been interested in this idea of destructive qualities of art. This piece came about because I wanted to find a way to take a very sensitive and thoughtful etching process and reduce it to something uncharacteristic of itself. Burning the zinc plate with a torch creates amazing layers and organic lines and cracks and once it's printed, you can see the sensitive, intricate, and layered linework created by the melted metal.
