Crane #3 is based on some of the ship container cranes in Gdansk. I love these skeletal forms, like ancient monsters hulking over the landscape. Continuing my efforts to make every series of prints unique, I hand-cut the background stencils and arranged them by hand before exposing and printing. The shade of yellow took the most amount of work on this print, as it was important to keep it bright enough to foreground the cranes, yet dark enough to not look like bizarre spotlights. Keeping these shapes abstract has been a good vein to explore and I'm going to use them to continue to explore the disconnect of our expectations of urban landscape and the changes that are caused by construction equipment.
