The Drypoint Collection: “Polyphony” Series

The “Polyphony” series is a striking visual response to traditional Albanian multi-part iso-polyphonic singing. Instead of merely illustrating musicians, Donald uses an diamond-tipped steel needle to scratch directly into the metal plates, creating high-friction burrs that catch ink in rich, chaotic, and heavily textured lines. The resulting prints feel less like static images and more like a raw acoustic vibration frozen on paper.
