New Photo Etchings, 2018

Finally getting around to photographing recent hand-pulled photo etchings. This past Winter and Spring in the printmaking studio was a productive, perfectly inky time, producing numerous etchings and subsequent small editions. I spent those months making and pressing plates from my 2017 & 2018 Havana photographs, but also from travels in Portugal, and domestically along the California coast.

Some have already been upload to my etchings portfolio here: Etchings / Michael Ast
