This print, Foundation for a Shrine, was printed with black ink and decayed granite from Colville. The granite was hammered, ground to a powder, then fired to 900 degrees Celsius.
Relief printing is a family of printing where a block has ink applied to its surface. Hand tools are used to cut the image, then ink is rolled onto the surface. Paper is placed over the inked block and passed through a press to transfer the ink from block to paper to create the image.
After drying, the print was run through the press a second time, to adhere the translucent Thai kozo to Italian Fabriano paper, using the chine collé method. The print was then embossed with the Driving Creek Pottery logo designed by Barry Brickell, signed, titled and numbered, most with the designation ‘1/1’ showing that no two prints are identical, though many of the same elements may be present. Instead of printing editions, I make distinct prints from my plates, with different inking processes or chine collé applied.
