DescriptionColorful abstracted collagraph etching print on paper of a canyon. The artist uses blacks, golds, reds, green, purple, and white to create the image. The white and colored earth drops off on the left-hand side into a deep black canyon which is bisected by a gradient blue/green river. The piece uses texture, color, and line to really create a sense of depth in the main focus which is the drop in the canyon. The piece uses various patterns and etch marks in the larger two black shapes, as well as the purple portion on the right, and the white and blue shapes at the bottom left. The left-hand side of the piece has black swirling patterns laid on top of the orange and red color of the canyon and the second black portion has etchings in the black vertically which reveals the white underneath. The bottom left-hand corner has a white slopping shape which is textured moving downward with the slope of the curve. The blue section next to it is textured through the contrast of color, and a swirling pattern of black which lays on top of the blue underneath. The whole surface of the piece is treated to have texture feel that makes it look almost like the pieces are laid on top of each other rather than painted. The primary colors of the pieces are orange, blue, red, green, purple, white, and black. The artist uses the brighter colors to create a more abstract representation of a canyon, and by using the black overlaying on the left side creates a more muted but present sense of continuity in the drop off. Moreover, the gradient in the deep royal blue to the lighter green in the river gives a feeling of gradual motion almost. The treatment on the areas of color make it look like actual rock. The contrast between the very bright colors and the black and white portions of the piece create a really stunning representation.
