soft-ground and aquatint, multiplate print in four-colour process on Magnani Pescia paper
Tis artwork is dedicated to the evolutionary theories of S.J. Gould and E.S. Vrba, whose studies on rraltions between shapes and functions of charcters have left a sign in opening evolution to chance and eliminating determinsm for good.
The fossiel of Archeaopterix keeping a whole print of wings stands with the phases of evolutionary transformation of the horse's forlimb.
Running and fliying,both images of freedom, merge into the atavic dimension of the fossile, evoking a regenerating reconnection with primordial jurassic times of life.
the used techinque is based on deep study of the work of J.C. Le Blon, fahter of the three-colour process.
