      BORDER PATROL

 A Solarplate print,  7" x 5"

A media invented by master printmaker Dan Welden of
Long Island - the sun does the etching instead of acid, 
hence "Solarplate", a very GREEN way to work! 

THE ART OF DEMOCRACY
A project of the New York Society of Etchers
www.artofdemocracy.org  A powerful exhibit recently shown at 
The National Arts Club, NY  in which BORDER PATROL was included.

PRINTMAKING IN THE SUN By Dan Welden and Pauline Muir is a well
illustrated guide using the Solarplate Method for artists who like to
make spontaneous and expressive images.   (2001 Watson-Guptill Publications NY)
