carter gravestone etching
I etched this gravestone portrait (with lettering) during the week, finished a portrait painting and started another Twister painting. I’m the only etcher I know. It’s an unusual business and I got into it in order to facilitate my Fingerprint Totems, now ten years old. I’ve done hundreds of etchings that sit in many New York and Connecticut cemetaries. I might do an etching every three weeks on average. I barter for stone, sandblasting, stone setting, and sculpture wisdom. It’s a good barter and in the meantime I am exploring what has become a series of works in an unusual light that would make for a nice contemporary show in New York City.
