intaglio/mono hybrid
I have now made 6 or 7 new prints on Somerset paper using a technique that uses 1mm pvc sheeting. I am cutting the plastic into shapes to describe the design. Pieces have drypoint or carborundum added and are then inked relief or intaglio or both. The jigsaw is then reassembled on the press and printed in one impression. The prints can be editioned and I would intend to print a maximum of 5 of each although have experimented with different colourways. I will be taking the new work to Printfest in Ulverston in May – https://printfest.uk/
