Limoges

Trained as an architect, Arms spent the majority of his career creating meticulously crafted prints of Gothic architecture in Europe and significant landmarks in America. Using fine sewing needles to attain an exceptional precision, Arms spent as many as 1,000 hours on one plate, a practice that he diligently recorded in his journals. In this view of a town in central France, Arms’ obsessive transcription of each stone in the bridge and buildings supersedes the natural limitations of sight, creating a hyper-detailed characterization unnoticed by the average visitor.
