“Matzah and Milton”

Intaglio Print on Rives BFK (22x15)

This piece is a memorial for my pet rats who passed away recently. I used different Intaglio methods to etch the lines, and aquatinted the plate to get various tones.

“Point Reyes Lighthouse”

Intaglio Print on Rives BFK (22x15)

This print was made using different Intaglio techniques to etch the lines with hardground, and using aquatint to get various tones. I was inspired by a picture I took while visiting the Point Reyes Lighthouse during the Spring.

“Soft”

Intaglio Print

Intaglio Print on Rives BFK (15x 7.5)

This piece was inspired by a random word that was prompted to each class member. The word I drew was “soft”. I wanted to pick a subject that challenged the boundaries of this word, and chose to etch a jellyfish due to its soft flowing nature, but also in some cases, deadly to the touch. I used hardground for the etching technique.

“Paloma y madre…”

Etching with aquatint and chine collé on BFK Rives

A tale that is made possible by geometry and flow. In this space there is possibility for a reemergence.

“&        it          comes             back    to         me”

Etching with soft ground and chine collé on BFK Rives

The beginning of a print series that explores tactile experiences, writing, and the space in which memory waits to be received.

“Window”

Hardground Etching on Copper Plate

4 ½ x 6”

This intaglio print is meant to be left up to the interpretation of the viewer. A window acts as a dynamic viewpoint; perhaps evoking senses of voyeurism, dread, and drama. What is the figure in the etching looking at? What moment are we looking in on? This piece uses a stark contrast of light and dark to enhance the drama of the situation.

Bella Tuell 2

“Escape”

4 ½ x 6”

Softground Etching on Copper Plate, Lace imprints

This intaglio print is meant to evoke a sense of childlike wonder and fantasy, and contrasting that to its morbid backstory. A death tradition when a loved one nears the end of his or her life, a window is left open for the soul of the loved one to pass through once they have died. A window, in this case, used for an escape into the unknown.

“Time is the Fire in Which We Burn”

9x12”

Hardground, Aquatint Etching on Copper Plate, Chine Collé

Inspired by the psychological horror of Goya’s etchings, this intaglio print explores the passage of time and aging. Chine colléed under the print is a birthday letter from my mother, in which she ends the note in a line from the poem Calmly We Walk Through This April’s Day, by Delmore Schwartz: “Time is the fire in which we burn.”

Opposites

Softground

This print was meant to use the subtle and soft look of softground, along with the lace texture to evoke the playfulness and sentimentality of the stuffed and unstuffed rag dolls.

Dominique Branch 2

Doll House

Hardground, aquatint, and spitbite

This aquatint print means to separate the individual spaces within the dollhouse and explore a range in values.

Dominique Branch 3

Doll House

Hardground, aquatint, spitbite, and chine colle

This aquatint print means to separate the individual spaces within the dollhouse and explore a range in values, contrasting with the chine colle. The chine colle also adds to the soft sentimentality of the rag dolls and the innocence of childhood.

“Insects…”

Intaglio Copper Piece; Hardground, Softground, Aquatint: White Ground

This piece of work depicts insects inside of picture frames. This is because I view bugs as beautiful living creatures that need to be preserved.

Emily Claridge 2  

“SHROOMS”

Intaglio Copper Piece; Aquatint with Chine-collé and A la poupée

This piece is meant for the viewer to ask themselves about what actual reality is.

Emily Claridge 3

Intaglio Copper Plate; Hardground, Softground, Drypoint

This is a picture of an Ochre Sea Star. The theme for this print was “Love and Magic”, and I believe the ocean contains the most beautiful and magical things in the universe, and Sea Stars are just one of them.

“Stole My Heart”

Intaglio Print on Rives BFK

This depiction of a heart trapped in a glass vessel was inspired by a random word that I drew from a cup at the beginning of our course.

“Carmilla”

Intaglio Print on Rives BFK

This Artwork was part of our student exchange series. It is inspired by the first vampire story to feature a female Vampire “Carmilla,” in 1876.

“Untitled”

Intaglio Print; Hardground and Aquatint

This is a print of an ornament that is on my tree during the holidays. I have had it ever since I was a little kid, and it holds a special place in my heart. This print represents love and magic to me.

Jessica Parham 2

“Untitled”

Intaglio Print; Hardground, Softground, and Aquatint

This is a print of a woman and leaves from a redwood tree. This woman can resemble mother nature in many ways, but mainly I wanted to capture the connection humans have with our environment. She is depicted in a more vulnerable state and is morphing into nature. Our connection with nature is precious and should be valued and cared for with love.

“Untitled”

Intaglio Print; Hardground, Whiteground, and Aquatint

This print is of a bench I would use to go and sit at for hours. It’s located at a park back in my hometown, and it is very nostalgic for me. I wanted this piece to resemble a dream-like setting, almost fever-dreamy, and for it to look like everything is distorted around you.

Hardground, whiteground, and aquatint

This print is intended to explore the interaction between the dead and living, and portray the symbolism of protection and resilience both subjects hold.

Pele and Kaui

Hardground and aquatint

This print conveys the relationship of the legendary love flowers (Naupaka blossoms) that visually display half a flower, and when placed together, they form a whole flower.

Kaia Myall 4

Untitled

Hardground

This intaglio print represents a repeating concept of the relationship between the dead and living.

Room

Intaglio print: Hardground

This is intaglio print that uses hardground for the main lines. My concept mainly represents my time I was quarantined during my South Korea trip during last summer. I wanted to create a piece that was suffocating and overwhelming.

Leola Sanchez 2

Murky Waters

Intaglio print: Aquatint and Hardground,

This print is a 5x5 piece that was for our class edition print exchange. The overall class theme was “love and magic”, so I decided to make a piece about a siren that eats sailors' hearts.

Leola Sanchez

My Little Sunshine

Intaglio print: Aquatint and Hardground

For this print I took inspiration from going back home for the thanksgiving break. I wanted to achieve a melancholy moment that is also nostalgic. My little sunshine is also something that my mom would sing to me whenever I had trouble sleeping when I was a child.

Untitled

Intaglio print: Aquatint with litho crayon and hardground

This is my final piece that was printed on gray BFK paper. I used a lithographic crayon to create certain textures with the aquatint. This piece is a reflection on the stresses that I have had in these last two weeks.

Nicholas Uglow

My art seeks to bridge the gap between light and the human experience. I want to illustrate the light in memories and moments where the light is unseen. I’ve noticed light is a focal point of impactful experiences I’ve lived. Light can be literal and pronounced, or visually completely absent, and I want to illustrate the light in moments and memories where it is unseen.

Nicholas Uglow 1

“Cat Love Wizard”

Intaglio print, hardground, aquatint

Love, magic and a cat, what's not to like?

This print was created out of an uncertainty with post-graduation life, amidst the complications of life and varied opportunities.

“When I Clap Just Like this, it Sounds Like Your Heartbeat”

Intaglio print with a la poupee, hardground

Connecting sound to unseen light, this print illustrates the light we don’t see in special moments.

“Pain, Memory, and Light”
