Foreshore in April

'Foreshore in June' 10cm x 12.5cm
Chine Colle (etching and aquatint)

Chine Colle originated in the Far East several hundred years ago and was used to enhance the surface quality of paper for printing woodcuts - one sheet of paper was added to another in the impression process. I paste the paper to the etching and aquatint image not for the surface quality but for pictorial reasons: the subtle tones, colours, geometric and organic shapes amplify the mysterious qualities of the landscape and the randomly scattered artifacts that occur within it.
