About the Item

"Lace Designs" by Vicki McKenna is a black and white photographic print. As part of her Resilience series the image evocates the spirit of early 20th century industry in the United States. It is a handcrafted print on 16 x 20 inch watercolor paper made using the historic platinum/palladium process. The print features rich blacks and subtle mid-tones. While printed in an edition of five, each print has unique characteristics. Image edges are crisp and defined; brush marks characteristic of the process are present in the margins. Matted at 17 x 21 inches and ready for you to frame. Stamped, dated, signed, and numbered on the verso. As a geologist and teacher, Vicki McKenna started taking photographs to illustrate concepts to her students, but soon became intrigued by the challenges of representing a three-dimensional world with an engaging, two-dimensional image. While it is not surprising that McKenna is drawn to photograph the natural landscape, her interests are broad-ranging, and a fascination with architecture means she is also interested in the built environment. McKenna is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
