Installations & Experimental Printmaking || Alexia Tala
Posted by Henry in Author: Alexia Tala, Medium: Installation, Medium: Printmaking, Publisher: A&C Black, Series: Printmaking Handbook, Subject: Techniques on Apr 21, 2009
Black’s Printmaking Handbook series has already established itself as adventurous and unafraid to take on the big subject and here it does that quite literally: some of these projects occupy a whole room! Certainly, this is a long way from just engraved plates and a single sheet of paper.
As ever, a great deal is crammed into a short length, but there’s no sense of overcrowding and the book only ever attempts to be a general survey. However, as well as some basic technical chapters, there is also a look at a good number of pieces by contemporary workers in the field and the quality of the illustrations is exemplary.
