This is my first attempt at print making. Intaglio is a form of printmaking that requires you to etch on a piece of perspex using a scribe. Ink is then applied, which catches onto the etched grooves. The excess ink is then removed. The paper is soaked in water for a short time. This allows for a good ink stain on the paper. The chine collee refers to the blue paper which is water coloured and very thin. Rice glue is applied to it and let to dry. The blue paper is then placed onto the inked perspex and the soaked paper on top. It is then rolled through a printing press. The rice glue binds both papers together.
My art is very personal at times. This reflects a feeling I was experiencing at the time of making. Please feel free to interpret it however you like. Comments and feedback are greatly appreciated. Don't be shy.
