As part of the
narrative: The print depicts the landscape towards
the end of the narrative. At this point the lightning, thunder
and rain begins.
About the technique:- A bit of an awkward
one to print this. 12 unetched squares are inked with a roller
in blue ink. These are arranged into the 2 by 6 shape and
run through the press. Then the 12 etched plates are rolled
over in black and then positioned exactly where the blue ones
were and run back through the press.
I shouldn't moan about this as other techniques
are far, far more difficult but, for me, registration on this
one is a nerve wracking affair as make a mistake and you have
to start again!
