Print Project #3 – Etching (Drypoint Method)

This edition of etchings is meant to experiment with a new concept I’ve always wanted to try out (merged heads) as well as with cross-hatching. I took two photographs of myself and drew the heads together, conjoined at their sides, then etched the image onto the plate.

This edition is almost a tribute to my twin sister — while we are fraternal, we have often been confused for each other — but it is also meant to remind me and the viewers of what it physically looks like to experience intrusive thoughts/having multiple voices in our head/”being beside yourself”.
