- Subsequent Title Comment
- This etching was begun in 2011, when it was taken through six states, and printed in an edition of ten numbered impressions, with the title The path. In 2012 the work went through two more states and was retitled The path II. In 2018, the plate was altered again in three further states, in which the artist removed the cypress and simplified the shapes and details of the remaining trees and bushes whose bare branches now suggest a winter scene. Retitled The Tower, the 2018 version places greater emphasis on the looming building by using greater back-lighting. The winter trees and the path in front of the tower are heavily shadowed.
