Photogravure II

 
These are the next two images in my Residue of Gesture Photogravure Series. Photogravure a printmaking process of etching copper plates with a photographic image, then printing that image through an intaglio process, that is, inking the plate and then printing with a printing press, with  pressure, transferring the ink from the recesses of the plate to the paper.

Photogravure

Recently I took a Photogravure class with Lothar Osterburg. I was so excited by the process and Lothar is an amazing teacher. Three students including myself are going to try to continue the process of etching more plates in my basement soon. So...hopefully more to come....
