Local Habitation: The Flyer





  “And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, ……
the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”

from A Midsummer's Night Dream
W Shakespeare


Local Habitation is a suite of three etchings -reflections on creative manifestation.

The three pictures are drawn with aquatint in a photographic style.
  • Of the the east side of Boulevard St Laurent, at Rachel in  Montreal. My studio's about half-way down the street.
  • Of the Inside of my next studio, near St Joseph, the figure I call The flyer dangles in front of my shelves.
  • Of the wall in that studio, drawings of two 3-d portraits, myself- the  flame-head clay figure-  images reflecting Grunewald, Blake, and the puppets of Rilke.

The plates are etched with nitric acid that works by dissolving unprotected plate into vapor.
For the clouds I used a rarely chosen opaque white ink coloured with the plate’s own oxide.
Spit bite is carried on water so I used that to carry the aquatint to etch the traffic flow and the cloud-like imagery.


The coalescing of water into cloud into shape,
meets the photograph
- a visual imprint of light.
Thus the images are created at the crossroads,
the X Y axis of two abstractions,
two airy nothings.
