Non toxic / low-tech. Cardboard Drypoint
This workshop focuses on a completely non-toxic, economical and low-tech approach to make carton calcification matrices using direct etching techniques.
This method allows the artist to quickly create complex images with the ability to use a wide variety of tonal signs and variations without the use of expensive or toxic products, such as copper, acid and rosin.
The cardboard matrices made with the techniques that will teach Jenny Robinson can be realized in a fraction of the time would be used for a traditional chalcography.
In this workshop will be given the tools to face a personal experimentation both for the preparation of the matrix and for the printing phases.
Jenny Robinson’s work is informed by her immediate surroundings, where she lives, works and goes has a direct impact on the subject matter she is drawn to.
Her work for the past 2 decades has been a personal documentation of our rapidly changing urban environments
Robinson’s Studio in San Francisco, based in an area of postindustrial decline and populated by architecture on the periphery of people’s vision, is, like many other areas of the world, undergoing huge changes and gentrification. Her work reflects and builds on her own visual experience of the constant cycle of demolition and re development around her.
