| "Lifeline" Solar plate etching with copper and stitch |
This is a print I created by solar plate etching made from a photograph my son took. I was quite moved by these photographs he was at school at the time and took them on his mobile phone (see below). I was intrigued with the idea of the lifeline in the hand and the faded dried rose. I added copper and machine stitch to the image.
Hand and Rose Photograph
In the second image he has drawn lines and tattoos which were quite thought provoking to me giving an image of scaring and lifeline.

I may do more work with these images. It makes me think that tattoos show a partial insight into a persons life history just as wear and tear and old age does.
