Unidentified Landscape, 150 x 195 cm

In short, the subtraction of the upper layers of the paper in chosen parts, brings the inner fibers of the paper to the surface. This makes possible for those engraved parts to absorb the charcoal, showing intense tonal hues through which the landscape is outlined and revealed. Although this technique resembles the classical use of the etching technique, unlike printmaking, the engraved paper constitutes the final work produced. Thus, I refer to the aforementioned technique as paper engraving. This work is one of the two works that that were created in the context of my undergraduate senior project, featuring a large scale landscape.
