"A relief etching is something that virtually nobody does. What [ Phillip Chen ] has done is effectively remove the ink to give us the image," says Behrens. "So you're looking at… the paper coming through from beneath this layer of ink." Chen's Fiji Mermaid is a part of the Sioux City Art Center 's permanent collection and can be seen now in the Permanent Collection on View exhibition.
