Stone litho: dancers

 It's been a while! Let's catch up... 

I did some stone litho at Morley College in south London using my dancers, inspired by the American choreographer William Forsythe's dance shows at Sadler's Wells in London. You can see the evolution of the prints here, including some pics of the limestone. 

Stone litho is a traditional, laborious process in several stages that involves grinding the stone to create a smooth surface without a previous image; creating an image on the stone, preserving it with a mixture of gum arabic and acid; and finally pulling prints off the stone using a printing press, adding a new colour at a time.

The last print is too crowded, I know!
