About this etching
Line-etching, spraypaint aquatint, mezzotint on zinc | printed on 300g/m² "Fabriano Watercolour" paper
Nösse is a part of the eastern coast line of the island Sylt, the northern most island of Germany. Half of my family is from there and we often walk this path as it's always a breathtaking view, with such a tall cliff next to the flat wadden sea. Standing atop the cliff gives you a feeling for the vastness in front of you. That's what I want to show here.
In the first stages I burnished brighter areas into a dark aquatint as one would do in mezzotint etchings. The lines were added on top to increase the contrast afterwards.
