I based this copper plate etching on a photograph that I took as dusk was falling and the lights were coming on in Tokyo, Japan. The hand drawn image presented a wonderful opportunity to experiment with different etching techniques for creating lines and textured surfaces on the plate and, thus, on the paper when I printed it. The plate and the print were made by me in the print studio of MassArt (Boston).
