Skowhegan II
1987

A black and white etching depicting a complex network of highways and overpasses intertwined with each other, surrounded by trees and a few buildings. The perspective is skewed, creating an almost M.C. Escher-like impossible structure. There are cars on the roads, and the details of the etching show shadows and textures that give depth to the scene. The artist's signature and edition number are visible at the bottom.
