There are many of us printmakers who have a fascination with "mark-making." We go gaga over the beauty of lines be they purposeful, random chance or accidental. The grace of a line can be as beautiful as an entire Miro painting. In fact many of his paintings sprang from some early fragment on his canvas which became the guiding foundation of that piece. Nature using man-made objects as it's matrix is probably the best mark-maker. Photographers of the Aaron Siskind perspective appreciate these as much as printmakers. I wish I could capture those works of wonder as well as he could. This photo is a digital effort from my travels in Spain. I believe it is the remnants of poster glue on a wall in Valencia.
