Description
An early experiment done at Atelier 17, Fred covered the magnesium plate with a hard carborundum ground and ended up spending days scraping back the plate, chiseling and engraving to finally accomplish the image he was looking for. In places he achieved a velvety texture, contrasting with the jagged edges of his lines.
