the holy city

intaglio print with charcoal
artists proof
270 mm x 325 mm


This image speaks of a unique place, acknowledged through world culture, part temporal and real, part spiritual and conceptual, held in the heart and minds of people of faith. A vision and centre for the redemption of the human soul. A shining city of peace and hope.
The foreground of the intaglio print is covered with charcoal within the plate mark, which forms a field of elemental and natural material. Using this contrast, the spiritual and the earthly are brought together in one image.
