** SOLAR PLATE is a UV sensitive, steel backed polymer plate used as an alternative to traditional hazardous intaglio and relief printing techniques. The intaglio image is incised below the surface of the plate. Ink is applied by hand to the plate surface; the incised image holds the ink and the surface is wiped clean. The plate is laid on damp paper and sent through a hand turned press where the paper is pushed into the recessed lines and picks up the image. The solar plate etchings in my series Analogue were created by using three plates each containing a unique color and image. The paper is run through the press thee separate times to pick up and layer the image of each plate.
