Description
Gold Scarab is a drypoint, an intaglio made unique by layering colors on the plate or touching inks to the surface of the printed image. Proust’s expressive image gives the viewer an intimate close-up of nature at work: an insect gathering pollen from a coneflower. The colors add to the ethereal quality of the image while the gestural strokes of color add movement, reminding one that nature is always in control.
