Ich machte einen handgravierten Kupferplattenabdruck, der nachts die westliche Hemisphäre von der Mondoberfläche darstellt

The golden age of copperplate engraving was the 16th and 17th century. The technique was used to reproduce images: maps, portraits, landscapes, illustrations, etc.

Engraving is not my full-time job. I work in the office 9-5, then in the evenings, once kids have been put to bed, I engrave and print my plates.

Engraving this work took ~4 months of engraving almost every evening.It is titled „Terra Nocta“. I really enjoy the process, it’s slow, meditative and helps me unwind after work.

Hope that you will like it as well! Have a nice week!
