Description

This "history" came about because my friends, Sarah Dudley and Ulie Kuhle, litho printers in Berlin, were given about 100 litho stones from a former Socialist art academy in what was the D.D.R.

The stones all had images on them drawn by forty years of students under the oppressive regime.

I asked them to reactivate the stones and print them on Zerkall Paper 450 g/m^2.

Most images I chose of the 100 were able to have life breathed into them.

We had finally forty-five images. They editioned the lithographs and then sent them to us in Walla Walla, Washington.

I drew and ground and bit copper plates to go over them.

I wanted a black view of the image and a sense of Berlin in the East as I knew it when the horrible wall was still up.

The etchers who came to work with me every summer over two and a half years have coaxed the exact mood I wanted out of the plates.
