Sauvie Island Hay - photogravure print - Edition 2021

I did not grow up on a farm, I am a city kid all the way through, my parents, however, did.  I am drawn to farms and barns as subjects and I often find myself set up with my view camera looking out over a cultivated field. I wonder to myself if this comes from generations-old genetic connections, these feelings of sustenance, and self-provision.  Or maybe it is the geometric forms carved out of otherwise chaotic landscapes. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Gamblin bone black and sepia ink, with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of just 8 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints.  Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 8 5.25 x 7.25 on an 11x15 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
