The monotype series explores color and intuitive direct brush and color application of oil etching inks to a mirrored copper plate which is then placed on a etching press. The inks transfer onto fine art paper as it is embossing the paper and also reverses the image in the printing process. The plate can run through the press many more times as more layers of color are applied and printed on the same paper. The ink on the plate is then removed. Each completed monotype is one of a kind.
