MONOTYPE
The monotypes are developed with the Carborundum technique. This process consists of drawing motifs with the carborundum mineral mixed with different glue on an aluminium plate.
Several plates are necessary; one for each colour and design. The paper is
handmade in a french mill.
The thickness of the paper (up to 7 mm) allows me to work in the texture to get
embossing impressions.I work mainly
on older presses. One is none other than a machine coming from the “Mourlot”
atelier on which many artists
including Picasso, Braque, Matisse to name a few, have made their engravings. I produce the monotypes
at the studio and publishing house of "Jacques Berville" in Arpaillargues in the Gard.
