Reduction Print

Project

Printmaking

Date

Oct. 2024

This print is based on the idea of solving an issue using something from nature. Using the same technique the pitcher plant uses when trapping prey in its digestive liquid, my version of this pitcher plant is to catch litter in nature and be able to dissolve it.

This process of the reduction print first started with a gradient color used for the pitcher plant, then I began carving away the areas that already used the gradient and then moved on to the dark magenta color. Then carving away the magenta, and finally I used blue to resemble the trash. This project took three weeks to finish and I could not be any happier with the result.
