Intaglio Prints by Samael Leopold-Sullivan
Intaglio prints are created by cutting or etching the design onto a metal plate, so that any ink falls below the surface of the plate and into the incised grooves. A press is then used to force paper into the grooves and pick up the ink. These particular intaglio prints were inspired by “a dead mouse I found outside of CAFAC” and “the twelve point circle drafting technique, and [were] made using scrap plexiglass and printed with a rolling pin!” - Samael Leopold-Sullivan
Prints are 5.25” x 5” (“Squared Circle”) and 7” x 5” (“Mouse Egg”)
