  • Tyler Bright Hilton - Smokestack analog residency - BTS_14

    Based on a much smaller etching that Tyler created, his image making on film began with a reinterpretation of this cat. It not only gave him a familiar place to begin working with a new method of image preparation, but also allowed for new ways of mark making and material exploration.

    Seen here, Tyler quickly dries the surface of the polymer plate in order to remove moisture from the surface after development. Leaving excess water drops or moisture in the plate can affect the image within the surface of the plate and therefore it's important to dry it as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

    Leaning into years of working together in the studio and previous colour explorations, Tyler & Laine utilized viscosity printing to achieve some of the colour work with these plates. Creating different viscosities in the inks allows for inks to either mix or repel - just like oil and water. This was leveraged to simultaneously have some colours flow into each other while others would stay separated.

    With the use of various applications of ink in the actual printing stage of the process, we were able to start seeing Tyler's images in new ways that were really exciting!
