An abstract drypoint print features geometric shapes and lines, with a vibrant orange circle and a dark gray circle adding pops of color. The printmaking technique of chine-collé is used to embed thin tissue paper into the artwork.

Tetra pack drypoint, ink with chine-collé on toned paper. Chine-collé is the technique of incorporating tissue paper into a print. In this case it’s the orange bit. It is glued (face up) and goes on top of the plate before it goes through the press. With the tissue being so thin it had no relief now, it is fully embedded to the print. A cool way to add colour without having to mess around with multiple inks!
