My first semester of graduate school, I took things slow. Something I somewhat regret now but in other ways am glad I did. I took an art history course, a teaching course and Photogravure. Photogravure was a great class to start graduate school off in. An amazing printmaking process but exposes you to the ideas of photography, like shooting multiple images and then editing down to get the final set. It uses black and white film to shot images so that they can be etched onto copper plates. Below is a set of three images I created for the end of the class. These images, like my others, relate to the land and our relationship with it. More specifically how I related to the beauty of death in the desert as it pertains to the foliage found out there. Macro images of fallen trees, cacti and shrubbery and the beauty in the line work that is created from the water being drained from the plants.
