Binding and String

Binding and String has taken shape over several years through returning to the same process. The process draws on principles found in Japanese shibori dyeing. Copper plates are bound with string and immersed in acid. The string resists the acid, while exposed areas are gradually altered. Rather than defining the image directly, the string sets the conditions from which it arises. What appears is not the execution of a plan, but the accumulation of events that occur between intention and contingency. Metal leaf is introduced through chine-collé, entering the print at the moment of impression. Prints are produced as variable editions. The plate deteriorates through repeated immersion in acid, eventually ceasing to function. Each impression is taken within this limit.
