After conducting my experiment with projecting my etching plates, I started to think about other ways that I can use the plates in other areas of my project.
I have been largely preoccupied with my seaside etchings most recently and have I feel neglected the painting element of my project. To remedy this and continue experimenting, I have decided that it would be interesting to project an etching plate onto a canvas and create a painting from it.
I do not wish, however, to merely recreate the etching image on a larger scale but also to incorporate the anaglypta paper within a mixed media background.
The images within this post illustrate my current progress with this idea. I have so far created layers upon the canvas with anaglypta wallpaper and clear/white tissue paper. Both materials coexist in a textural manner upon the canvas, creating a background which, once painted on, I hope will demonstrate the same level of distortion and depth as can be found within my anaglypta etching prints.
