About this work

You see a dark grid of tiny etched lines that look like rain hitting a window at night. Tillyer scratched the metal plate so lightly that the ink barely holds. The paper stays almost white, letting the lightest marks show. It’s quiet, like looking through a screen door in a storm. To see how other artists use empty space, look up *etching*.
