Aquatint etchings, suite of 6 prints, edition of 10
This portfolio of aquatint etchings started with drawings and photographs made during Beck’s trips to Mexico City. In this suite of intaglio prints, light posts, signs, billboards and street furniture become stark silhouettes, signaling the absence of their context. Isolated, they suggest a familiar if unspecified place, or even props for an empty stage set.
