about Sunrise at Bayonne

At once expressive and sterile, “Sunrise at Bayonne” depicts a fiery metallic sunrise over the city of Bayonne, New Jersey.

About The Medium: Aquatint

An etching process in which tone is created by treating a plate with fine particles of acid resistant material (like powder resin) and then placing the plate in an acid bath. The acid bites into the plate between the grains of resin and when printed, the mass of tiny spots produces a textured area with tonal effects similar to watercolor wash.
