Carroll Dunham — Point of Origin (K. A14)
Carroll Dunham

Point of Origin (K. A14)

Carroll Dunham's "Point of Origin (K. A14)" is a monumental colored etching and aquatint executed on handmade Japanese Echizen Shiro Torinoko paper that showcases the artist's characteristic biomorphic abstraction. The work employs the traditional intaglio techniques of etching and aquatint to create layered compositions of organic, undulating forms rendered in vibrant color fields. Dunham's mastery of printmaking processes is evident in the interplay between the paper's natural texture and the precisely controlled tonal variations achieved through aquatint, resulting in a work that bridges contemporary abstraction with historical printmaking traditions.
