Monotype with beeswax and ballpoint pins
This monotype was printed from copper with chine collé on Velin Arches paper and then dipped in beeswax. The surface has been pierced with approximately 6,500 ballpoint pins. Though suprisingly flexible, it remains uncomfortable to touch.
Referencing a childhood toy that captured physical impressions, this work considers the immense pressure of memory and how that translates through multiple senses.
