My thoughts on the Lino surface meterial compared to the Ply-woods harshness…

Overall the Lino felt smooth and easy to slice through so it made using it faster and more thorough although in the case of the ply-woods surface it’s much more tough and harsher for etching into….

Although the plus side to using Ply-wood is that you can get a diffrent kind of texture and result one that is more unique in apperance compared to what the Lino offers…

Additionally i found whilst conducting my process and ideas something that looked visually similar to the intricate carvings i performed on the surface of the Ply-wood being my own bathroom window…

With the appearance matching the detail of the carvings i created…

( Detailed bathroom window )

The Ply-wood and window seem to have a similarity in the line detail used and it shows that the idea of etching can be transferred to multiple surfaces and can be varied and reconfigured to the artists harts content…

That is why i find the print making format of art so freeing and expansive that speaks volumes to me because of how much in enjoy the process and practical side of conducting and creating the prints …
