Cleo Wilkinson

£0.00
Cleo is interested in emphasizing the singularity and silence of a form - what is missing in the shadows provides the greatest potential . Nursing the life of an image out of its pitch black womb into hope - in the form of light – the process has a primordial spiritual magic. The Mezzotint Print technique and tools have largely remained unchanged for the last 300 years .The process achieves tonality by roughening the metal plate with a metal tool, a rocker. The small teeth of the rocker create tiny burrs that hold ink during the printing process. The rocked areas that are left will produce a rich black print, areas that have been burnished (knocking the burrs down) will hold less ink, producing lighter values. This process produces an image with a high level of tonal richness.
