A Photogravure Print Project
for PNCA Submit Magazine
Using as source material twenty-three found family snapshots from Japan, I will be creating a photogravure plate with thirty different 4x5 inch prints. The plate will be printed seventeen times. After each print is pulled, the plate will be distressed and changed through chance accidents involving drypoint, etching in ferric chloride, and random uncontrolled acts.
The result is that the images will be changed and damaged, sometimes violently, until they fade altogether from the picture frame.
The seventeen prints will be cut into five hundred and ten unique images, five hundred of which will be presented in a glassine envelope tipped into the back cover of Submit Magazine—the semi annual publication produced by the PNCA Student Body.
The release party is April 25th. Stay tuned for more images.
