Imprint

  • Chiara Adele Ruozzo

This experimentation begun during the development of Inscripting surface. I was researching a range of materials that change over time and the consequences of external factors, such as water. Leaving the plates in the open air over a period of three months, after every rain I have printed them using the printing press and then put them back. The rain water, acting on the steel, created the rust, that I have used instead of the ink.
