DANCING WITH THE STONE

 

In 2019 I worked at a Chinese village located 50 kilometers from Beijing - in the Shangyuan art residence, where I have been staying for 3 summer months.

Residence lacked of necessary equipment for creative work in printmaking techniques, specifically the most important - etching press to create prints on paper in the dry point technique.

I used as a press a large stone that I had been found nearby. 

With that stone I was able to print a series of four prints, and also I have created about 10 more works in woodcut, linocut techniques and paintings.
