Cinemaniac

Mezzotint – Image Size 9.5 x 5.75 Inches

This edition of 160 prints with 10 artist’s proofs was printed by the artist in her studio. The image is printed on German etching paper utilizing Gamblin Portland Cool Black and Graphic chemical 514 bone black ink. The artist remarked that the image was of a Swiss made Paillard-Bolex movie camera. To restore the sense of objects moving forward and back, the perspectives were distorted and exaggerated. The angles, forms, patterns and lighting are manipulated to suggest a zaniness of animation or a cinema of the manic or “Cinemanic.”
