sporozoan cavities – Intaglio prints

sporozoan cavities is a suite of Intaglio 15 prints, which are 18×24 and printed on 22×30 Rives BFK Tan. All of these prints revolve around the origin and evolution of the sporozoan image as the primary object in all my work. The sporozoan is derived from the chest cavity of the human form, which is my favorite thing to draw in figure classes. I visualized the form underneath and slowly modified it until I discovered the sporozoan. sporozoan cavities shows the sporozoan in many states of being and is drawn in a way to show its anatomy and its exterior features. The suite has been printed in black and white and in a la poupee, editions of 25 of each print are to be printed. I have yet to finish the suite due primarily to its size, when all prints are made there will be 800 of them. My obsession with the sporozoan is growing exponentially as it has quickly been taking over all of my imagery.
