David Smith Harrison's intaglio prints from 1982-94 are on exhibit at the Loge Gallery in the Pioneer Memorial Theatre through Saturday, Sept. 30. Smith-Harrison's approach to intaglio printmaking commands a substantial amount of time and labor. He uses a mid-15th century technique to detail images of trees and architectural forms, which he etches meticulously in copper plates. He then hand-prints the etchings onto fine papers. This process of drawing and etching is repeated until thousands of marks and lines compose a final image.
