Forgotten at the bottom of a drawer until today, copper is ready for printing. The subject is a large house "forgotten" by man. The facade is that of a noble residence but everything seems abandonment and apparent disorder. The vegetation invades the space, subverting the established order. Through various etchings, the etching path becomes nervous and punctuated by light-dark spots. A final processing with drypoint makes the blacks deeper and more velvety. An empty house... full of vigor.
