Japanese Prints: Second of a triptych

Artist's essay 1, marympayne 


This is a page of trial proofs for the last intaglio prints I was able to do with use of a print studio.  You can see the progression as I worked on the plaque to slightly change it each time. Sometimes the differences are only in the way it was inked . Sometimes the changes were made with a new layer of resin. 

  Unique proofs are always those that cannot be reproduced in quite the exact way as in when putting an additional backing paper on the plaque before printing in the method of "chine collé".  That method I explained in an earlier post.

P.S.  The BFK Rives paper is all of the same cream color but  some of my photos are deceiving in their depiction of its color.
