To create this rich color intaglio Metz used soft-ground etching and aquatint and four plates. She printed this image in what was a large edition for her, 25 impressions. She did her own printing and impressions will vary in color from print to print, mostly due to her technique and curious nature. Kathryn (Kay) Metz studied printmaking with both S.W. Hayter in Paris and Robert Blackburn in New York and went on to have a 21 year career teaching printmaking at the University of California in Santa Cruz. Because of her teaching Kay was not involved in creating work for the market and her editions tend to be very small, if the work is even editioned beyond proofs.
