Description
From the Travels with the Master series, Niagara Falls — the great cataracts on the US–Canada border, among the largest waterfalls in the world by flow — provides Binnie with a subject that tests the limits of his atmospheric technique. The falls' volume and force, the mist they generate, and the way they transform the light and atmosphere of everything around them offer the printmaker a landscape in which water itself is the dominant visual fact. Binnie's bokashi gradations render this watery atmosphere with particular attentiveness.
