"Relic" Intaglio Colored Etching. 24” W x 32.5” H.
Students of early American landscape art are familiar with a (1806) painting by Charles Peale titled “The Exhumation of the Mastodon”. Aside from the artifacts exhumed, the confluence of hardware created to understand this “oddity” was inspiration for “Relic”. This dichotomy of the geophysical against an organic backdrop plays heavily in a lot of recent works. Rather than deny the 500+ year history of intaglio prints exploring the monumental, I reinvest the search. So here a great weight of a cube is pulled from its cave-like abyss using an ageless selection of pulleys a revealed by a breaking shaft of light.
