Installation photographs
The artist created the two diptychs below by painting the first coat on the wood
panels different colors - one blue and one green. He then painted more than
twenty coats of cadmium yellow or green on top of the panels. There is a slight
tonal difference between each panel despite the numerous over-painting. The
underlying color still leaves its mark. This degree of subtlety is difficult to
capture and reproduce.

Archival pigment prints
10" x 30 " (images on the right show detail)
Edition of 15
$350/print, prices subject to increase as edition sells)
This is David Hirschi's first editioned artwork, although it has been years in the making. The print explores
the question of a "straight line." Although there exists a theoretical straight line between points A and B,
reality often introduces chaos. Therefore, in drawing a straight line, the pencil or the ink will react to the
paper or the surface upon which the line is drawn. In looking at this "drawn" line microscopically, the
viewer will no longer see just a lstraight line. He or she will see how the drawing material and surface
reacted to each other, i.e., the "play" of the line. This parallels a person's life - control v. chaos.
Hirschi contemplated the expression of this concept in creating this exquisite and subtle print. He truly
stretched the media by creating an image that has the quality of watercolor painting; the edge of the
color fields seem to absorb more pigment than the washed areas.
