Multi-plate color intaglio
4.5"x8"
This was my first multi plate print after coming back from Italy. I used it as a sort of way to experiment with the techniques learned there and how they could transfer to the processes used in La Crosse. Subjectively this print touches on misunderstood personalities, and to a lesser extent multi-faceted relationships. I was trying to illustrate the focus and instinct of an owl in their apparently "stoic" pose. While owls are most certainly beautiful and impressive creatures, I feel like they get misrepresented in the media. Being portrayed as cute and cuddly in any way is pretty ridiculous as owls are essentially killing machines. Maybe you haven't thought about this yet, but owls are completely silent, have razor sharp claws and astounding hearing and vision, basically they could kill you at any time. So be nice to owls, cause they're nice enough to let us live.
