Cats Series | Muggs

Etching on Paper

11" x 14"

2001

Muggs was the first cat my sons had as children. I found my third born son, Jesse, washing this little kitten in the bathroom sink! I couldn't say no. 

Etchings are made from forcing ink into carved groves of a zinc metal plate. The flat surface is wiped clean, damp paper placed on top of plate and then rolled through a press. The ink inside of the grooves is grabbed up by the damp paper.

This first printing was an edition of eight.
