Acid Etched Warhol Banana
A customer asked for a banana pendant as a gift for the 1 year anniversary of his friends website called Steel Banana. I etched the Warhol screen print onto the silver using tar as a resist and put it in a mordant of nitric acid for a while.
This one was actually my second attempt as the first one sat in the acid a bit too long and became but of a ghost of the banana that it once was. I hope Warhol doesn’t mind that I hung the piece upside down as it was the only way I could do it without it looking too phallic.
