Ann Symes - Black and white exhibition
​
In this unfinished series I am focusing on etched edges and subtle surface marks.
​
I worked with aluminium plates etched with copper sulphate and salt. The subtle surface marks are created by textiles impressed into the soft ground.
​
By combining different sized plates and changing the arrangements it offers wide possibilities of variation on the theme.
​
Instead of printing using the intaglio method I surface rolled the plates using different densities of water based ink and printing them on fine papers to reveal the subtle marks.
