Limited Editions
[
Top ]
Megan Roodenrys also produces limited edition dry points.
Dry point print making is easily recognisable with
slightly fuzzy lines which it leaves on the paper.
The process involves firstly scratching a design onto a
polished copper plate using a sharp hard needle.
This throws up a rough ridge of metal (the burr) along the
incised line which is the source of many of the dry points' advantages as well
as its problems. The burr holds the ink as well as the line of the groove
itself. This makes it suitable for creating rich velvety areas of tone. When the
print is transferred to paper, the typical fuzzy dry point lines are left
behind. Unfortunately the burr is very fragile, wearing down quickly in the
printing press. This is why only few copies are possible and explains the
limited editions of Megan's work in this area, often less than 15.
As result, the prints hold their value and are an investment
in themselves.
