Spahr, Herlinde, 1952-, creator, artist.
Abstract:
Elements of image include an articulated model hand drawing an image of a lithography stone set atop a field of pebbles; upon
the printing stone is an image of another articulated model hand drawing an image of a chessboard and arch, also set atop
a field of pebbles. Design includes a crack running through the entire image, perhaps suggesting that the stone used in making
the print was broken.
