Rust & Reverence

Rust & Reverence is an intaglio and aquatint print that reflects on time, decay, and quiet honor. A solitary form emerges from layered textures, its surface marked by subtle tonal shifts and softened edges, suggesting weathering, memory, and endurance.

Rendered in earthy, restrained tones, the composition emphasizes stillness and material presence. The aquatint process creates a velvety depth, while etched lines anchor the image in structure and restraint. Each hand-pulled impression carries nuanced variation, underscoring the intimacy and impermanence inherent in the printmaking process.
