Deep Series, 2018
Joan Winter
My interest in light, color and time overlap in the Deep print series. Recently on a bright summer day, I photographed a series of waterfalls at the Water Gardens in Ft. Worth, an “oasis in the city” designed by the renowned architect, Philip Johnson. I was drawn to the energy of the rushing water and reflections of light patterns on the surface of the water. I am currently working on a series of drawings of delicate elusive cloud formations at different times of day. The similarities of the waterfall photos and my abstract drawings of cloud formations were surprising.
I used an experimental aquatint process to create the copper plate for the etching series, Deep, referencing both the waterfall images and cloud drawings. To make the series of four prints, I developed several unique ink colors, investigating the subtle shifts in color caused by sunlight conditions at different times of day. The Deep series prints are part of my recent body of work, Edge of Light.
