The #mothproject is all but complete. 20 #mezzotints of British #moths (all common, all declining)in just over a year. All thats left now is to complete the editioning. News soon of exhibitions and what I hope will be a rather lovely book.
Go see the amazing #mezzotints of #DoxThrash (1893–1965), pioneering printmaker and a noted participant in the New Negro movement of the 1930s and ’40s. @PalmerMuseum of Art on Penn State's University Park campus, Pennsylvania. Until 20 May 2018
