This little piece is part of my Fresh Finds project—a series where I’m going through older works from my archive and making them available to collectors for the first time in decades. These are works I’ve held onto because they were meaningful parts of my development as an artist, but now I want to make them available as part of my legacy. I’m especially excited to offer smaller, early prints like this that still pack a lot of emotional weight.
This intaglio print is titled Soho, made in 1994. It’s a tiny image—just 2 by 2.5 inches—printed on a sheet of paper that’s about 5 x 8.5 inches overall. It’s shrink-wrapped (not mounted) to a piece of foam core, and there’s a bit of adhesive residue on the wrap at the bottom, but the print itself is in excellent condition, totally clean and flat.
Even though the image is small, there’s a lot happening inside that little frame. The composition is loosely based on a remembered scene from a movie—something that stuck with me, even though I don’t know exactly what film it came from. Like a lot of my work from this period, it was filtered through my love of Edward Hopper and Elmer Bischoff. I think of it as a kind of imaginary still, a moment where two people are framed in a window, heavy with atmosphere and implied tension.
Stylistically, it’s a mix of realism and gesture. The figures are blocky and shadowed, almost silhouettes, and the diagonals from the blinds cut across them dramatically. The print has a moody, urban feeling—almost cinematic—with a sense of stillness, like you’re witnessing something private from across the street. I used intaglio and aquatint to create the image, layering etched line with tonal grit and texture. It’s impression 3 out of just 5 pulled.
This kind of print fits squarely into the themes that run through my whole career: film, memory, quiet moments, and emotional ambiguity. It’s small, but it holds the kind of psychological weight I always chase in my figurative work.
