Urban Etching

The Urban etching series is a definitive study of an urban environment comprising multiple images layered over one another, giving the impression of a fine, delicate pencil drawing or metal etching. Each “Etching” deconstructs a city environment, replacing form and structure with the ebb and flow of movement, leaving the viewer with a sense of knowing that you may have been there on that particular street, in that corner of time.

Legassick takes hundreds of photos of the chosen street scene and painstakingly layers image over image, adding in hidden characters and text for the viewer to discover, often creating a deep perspective and a sometimes unnerving view.
