The Valkyrie
Etching Print Series
Based on a bronze figurine of a valkyrie from a find from Hårby, Denmark, dating back to the 7th century, I created my own character. My Valkyrie is also in a way a self-portrait with my own expression. The valkyrie is a powerful female figure from the Norse mythology who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live.
Medium: Etching print on water color paper
Size: 18”x24” and 16” x 18”
The making of the prints
I created various sketches when developing the 3D mythic and Norse sculpture series based on the Valkyrie figurine below. The sketch to the right was used when making make these etching prints.
I traced in on a plexiglass by scraping the surface with a ballpoint needle, and then transferred with ink through a press on watercolor paper.
