Process-based works grounded in risograph, screenprint, etching, lithograph, and letterpress. Printmaking here becomes more than reproduction—it’s a method of storytelling, of building physical traces and temporal layers, often informed by nostalgia, language, and texture.
Windtrace
About the Project
A gesture of wind, carved into copper. A landscape caught mid-breath.
Windtrace is a copperplate etching created using a combination of hard ground, drypoint, and the à la poupée inking method. Originally conceived as a layering plate for another work, the image gradually emerged as its own quiet composition—lighter, more skeletal, and more fleeting.
I began by drawing into hard ground and etching the lines in acid, then returned to the surface with drypoint, adding softer, intuitive marks. For inking, I applied light and dark green inks directly onto the plate using the à la poupée technique, blending tonal variation by hand. This careful, tactile approach allowed the landscape to hold motion in stillness—like a trace of wind sweeping through the terrain.
The etched line follows a loose curve, almost like a backward S, flowing down the mountain and through the field, river, and plants—mirroring the way memory moves: nonlinear, delicate, and sensory.
Unlike its companion piece, Erosion, this print contains no aquatint or tonal wash. Its openness and selective color allow space to breathe. The image evokes an early landscape—before time, before erosion—like a moment just before forgetting.
Windtrace sits at the threshold between gesture and terrain, where memory, wind, and land leave their mark as one.
