Today I have experimented largely with my two drypoint plates, working with them both individually and separately, layering them on top of one another, in addition to combining them with layering of image transfers to create very distorted textured images, which allow the viewer to become lost in the subtle lines and tones of the ghost prints, whilst at the same time become overwhelmed by the vibrancies of the photographic image transfers.
In addition to layering the same plate over and over to crate several short prints, I also worked with the plates together to create large combination prints, which I think are very successful in that the industrious mechanical aesthetic on plate one juxtaposes the subtle organic lines of plate two creating an overall abstracted dynamic, which requires a detailed search to decipher the intention of the image as one.
