Aquatints
This series of aquatint etchings is made of 11 double-sided prints. Each print is shown in this documentation at different stages of its development. 11 different plates were made for this project in 2012, and 4 colours are layered on top of each other on the same sheet of etching paper.

Each plate was made by randomly shaking a brush loaded with varnish over the aquatint before the bite. The alternation of 11 plates and 4 colours is guided by a pre-established code pencilled on the prints. The project is ongoing: each time the prints are exhibited, a new layer is added.
