This etching is one of a series attempting to integrate digital and traditional printmaking. Fiona was aiming to have the feel of a cluttered natural history museum, rather than a slick digital image. Scanned objects, old text books, etc were manipulated in Photoshop, printed onto thin Japanese paper and used as collage elements (chine colle) to print with a steel plate ecthed by traditional methods.
