Scratchboard Art.
For this engraving art series I use scratchboard, a form of direct engraving where dark ink is scratched off to reveal a white or coloured layer beneath.
Scratchboard refers to both a fine-art medium, and an illustrative technique using sharp knives and tools for engraving into a thin layer of white China clay that is coated with dark India ink.
Mother Nature, Will You Marry Me?
a loveletter from mankind
“Dear Mother Nature,
For centuries I have neglected you.
For centuries I thought you were
not worthy of my love.
And I feel ashamed to admit
it's a virus that opened my eyes.
How wrong was I!
I love you, I need you!
Sweet Mother Earth,
let me protect you.
Forgive me
for my foolishness,
for all my wrongdoings...
...and marry me.
Till death do us part.”
