Bobcat Skull - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

Bobcat Skull - photogravure print - The Weekly EditionFrom a collection of my grandfathers things I found in my mother's garage. The still life has long been a favorite theme for me. I collect objects that interest me as I move through life. I save them and then, when they call to me, I make negatives. Hand pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel Noir 55981, Bistre, and Sanguine inks on Hahnemhle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 6 numbered prints Hand pulled print by Ray Bidegain
