Notes on Process:
In her untitled series of exquisite step-etched aquatints, San Francisco artist, Patsy Krebs riffed on her series of watercolor paintings from the same time period. Each of the four images is printed from the same group of 4 copper plates. The plates are inked and printed in different colors, in layers, also utilizing the concept of ink viscosity, where some of the heaviest ink is planned to resist sticking to the paper and instead, lifts off, allowing for the beautiful glow present in the center of each piece.
