New Foundations in the Sky (Alex Thompson)

New Foundations in the Sky is a Piranesi-esque Romantic vision of a dark cityscape, dominated by distant residential buildings, a basilica, and a prominent gas station. A lattice of scaffolding carries the city up into new territory skyward, evocative of Italo Calvino's endlessly poetic 1973 book Invisible Cities. The hand-printed etching is one of an edition of 6.
