Still Life With Roses - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

I do not often make pictures of flowers.  When I do find myself making a still life photograph with botanicals it is usually a result of my overwhelming desire to make work and a casual volunteer showing up in my view. I probably do not think about them as flowers but instead as feelings and visual shapes and textures.  I made this negative the same day I was making tintypes of the same still life set up. Today I printed it in photogravure. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel 55981 Black, and Bistre inks on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and  3 A/P prints.  Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 8 5.75x 7.5  inches on an 11 x 15.5 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
