ARGENT ARBOREALIS
I'VE BEEN MAKING A PRINT USING GOLD POWDER EACH YEAR FOR A WHILE NOW. THE GOLD POWDER COMES FROM CORNELISSON & SON IN LONDON; AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SAME SHOP ALSO SELLS SILVER POWDER TOO. EVERY YEAR THE GOLD EDITION SELLS OUT VERY QUICKLY, SO IN A PROBABLY FUTILE AND POINTLESS WAY TO AMELIORATE THIS 'PROBLEM' I'VE DECIDE TO PRINT AN EDITION OF ANOTHER ARBOREAL ENVIRONMENT USING SILVER POWDER. AGAIN, A VAGUELY DISTURBING SCENARIO, WITH AN ALMOST INVISIBLE FIGURE MOVING THROUGH THE TREES, TOWARDS YOU, THE SPECTATOR, THE VIEWER⦠THE WITNESS.
AS WITH THE GOLD PRINT (AURUM ARBOREALIS) THERE ARE ELEVEN LAYERS THAT MAKE UP THIS PRINT.
NB. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS A FIGURE IN THE DISTANCE; I DON'T KNOW WHY I DID IT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT REPRESENTS; AT LEAST, NOT CONSCIOUSLY. I DID HONESTLY CONSIDER MAKING THIS PICTURE WITH NO FIGURE IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF. IF IT'S ANY 'CONSOLATION', EARLIER VERSIONS OF THIS PICTURE HAD A MUCH MORE TERRIBLE FORM LURKING IN THE SHADOWS.
