Chinese characters letterpress style yin yang print mixed media etching red yellow black is a hand-pulled hybrid print. I have always been intrigued by the beauty and mystery of Chinese calligraphy, both as a design element, and for the meaning behind the symbols. This piece is a collection of various Chinese symbols, with their meanings printed below the image. Since each etching is hand-stamped, each print will be slightly different and unique.

Technique: First, an etching was made on a zinc plate, then an aquatint was applied. Next, the plate was inked as a relief etching, and printed on black paper. The Chinese symbols were then hand-stamped using hand cut woodblock and rubber stamps. The paper was then archivally adhered to beautiful, heavy 100% cotton rag paper as a substrate, which had been run through an Epson pigment-based printer to print the words.

All materials used are of highest archival quality. Due to the handmade nature of this item, expect minor fluctuations from print to print. Please note: this is NOT a reproduction, it is not a "giclee". It is a hand pulled, limited edition fine art print.
