Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith, Celebrate 40,000 Years of American Art, 1995

Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith: It's an etching, but it's a collagraph etching, which is kind of the Luddite way of doing etching. When I went to Washington University the professor there had made a larger press, and so when I went there to do a print he said, "I want you to make something big." So I said, "Like how big?" And he said, "Hmm, like six feet." So I was like "Ohh, I haven't worked on that size before." I decided, okay I'll make six foot rabbits, that's what I'll do. I had to do it on some kind of a beaver board and then using acrylic spray, cheesecloth, aggregate to polish stones and things like that. So mixing that all together, that's how we got the texture. It's got water droplets that stay there.
