These prints shown are part of a long delightful series
on a single theme: The Hidden Line. They were made by
manhandling a large cylindrical shaped piece of wet,
inked clay on a piece of paper… sometimes over
pre-drawn lines… sometimes reacted to after the
print was made.
What started as a jest to my architectural colleagues, to
show them there were other ways of considering
the technical tools of their trade, consumed several
years of intense investigation into realities and
produced some of the most satisfying images to date
of my career as an arist. Spoof spills over into satire and
gains stature by its exaggerated honesty. -- Ray Musselwhite
