Etching Process
Posted by David | Filed under Diagrams, Prints
This is an image of one of my copper plates in the initial stages of the etching process. Although I’m supposed to keep my personal thoughts aside (thanks Sue!), this is one instance where I think the plate looks a whole lot better than the actual completed print. The black stuff coating the copper plate is highly toxic asphaltum that I have begun to scratch into revealing the shiny copper beneath. The shiny copper parts that are exposed will eventually be the areas that get etched, thus allowing ink to seep into those areas and print (as seen in the finished print).

Help me! I am currently working on an installation project that (surprise, surprise!) involves diagrams and configurations of a scientific nature. I’ve been working on these for the past few days and think I may be too involved with it to be able to rely on my usually sound decision making abilities. Please select your overall favorite configuration from the above list of 18, and then your five runners-up (for a grand total of six favorites) and list them in the Comments section. You can base your decision on any criteria you want. I will be taking a tally of the most popular configurations and including them in the installation. Thanks for your help!
