William Kentridge is seriously so amazing! I went to his exhibit at MassArt last week and was truly astounded at the amount of work he had! I have seen many of his videos and have been moved by them, but seeing his prints was so inspirational because of his unusual techniques. On one of the prints it was done with a soft ground which is a thinner resist for etching in which he created a man out of his own thumbprints. He made sure each mark made a shadow or created a form! His videos are all very political, usually about oppression and power. I am overwhelmed with his patience and genius! What is also interesting is Fred printed one of the prints in the show with Kentridge himself! Great show!!
