Nature Printing
Nature printing is a rare intaglio printing technique from the mid-19th century that makes it possible to make direct impressions of the surface of natural objects. The method was out of use and largely forgotten for nearly 150 years.
It is a printmaking process which uses actual plant specimens, electro-chemistry and traditional copperplate printing to create strangely life-life images on paper that have a curious texture in relief.
Pia Östlund spent two months at BORCH Editions’ studio working with the master printers on refining the platemaking process of nature printing
