Etching Incorporating Text:
I returned to the tree motif in this etching but began to experiment further with creating text which would be legible.
- Using the tracing paper method as outlined previously, I marked out my image on the photographic paper using a soft tipped marker.
- I carefully scribed my text by referring to the tracing regularly.
- I also wanted to experiment more with the idea of new techniques and so I decided to use cutting out significant portions of the piece.
The Final Piece:
I quiet like the framing effect achieved and with the text I feel this piece feels almost illustrative in nature whilst still being true to a true representation of a tree. One of the most surprising results of this etch was the print left on the newsprint during the printing. I love the effect left behind. It reminds me of a shadow or a reflection or a ghost like imprint left behind by the process.
