Tied hands - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition
I have struggled the last couple of years, like all of us. I have also been lucky to be making art and putting my thoughts and feelings into the pictures I make. I made this negative at a time when it seemed like outside forces had my hands tied and were getting in the way. I suspect I am not alone. My hope is that this picture will bring to your mind the success that always follows struggle in your own space. 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 6.0 x 7.25 inches on an 11 x 15.5 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
