“Here Lies the Truth” is an original hardground etching with aquatint, hand-printed from a copper plate. The piece confronts how belief, power and narrative twist around each other — a tangle of devotion, distortion and inherited truth. Smoke, scripture and figure merge, revealing how easily certainty becomes myth.
Each impression is pulled by hand, preserving the tactility and tonal variation of traditional intaglio. While the plate remains A3, the prints are presented on A2 paper, giving the image a wide field of breathing space.
