Description

In nearly all of Driesbach's printed works there is a man in a top hat and glasses integrated into the narrative. Likely meant as figures of himself, Driesbach is embedded in the surreal landscapes he has created on the plate, as if bearing witness to the action--surreal or otherwise--going on all around him.

Detail-oriented and never one to waste a moment of innovation, Driesbach also registered his large prints with pinholes placed not at the corners of the sheets as was traditional, but placed purposefully through the center of specific objects within the composition: the eye of a horse, the hub of a wheel, the filament of a lightbulb.
