The Etching (Intaglio Print)
|
This etching process is a delicate blend of art and science and is dependent on the skills and techniques of the artisan. Because of the complexity of the process and the depth of experience needed to create and ink the plates, it is always on the verge of extinction.
Michael’s negatives are captured electronically, airbrushed and edited for contrast and tonality under Michael’s direction...after which they are converted to a transparency. The transparency is then used to transfer the image to the copper plate.
The etchings are then created by pressing an inked copper plate into the surface of a dampened, fine art etching paper. The image itself is obtained from the etched areas of the plate. The varying depths of the etched copper yield different quantities of ink producing a continuous tone image. The final print exhibits a textural range of tones with a unique and exquisite quality. The inking of the plate and pulling of the final print are all done by hand on an antique etching press. Because of the nature of the process, the prints are considered individual works of art.
