Between science and art, the corrosion of metal, a metaphor for the passing of time, becomes the engraver’s ally. Printing brings the material that has disappeared back to life and perpetuates its memory. The choice of pigments, oxides or iron carbonates, prolongs the link between the aged metal matrix and its reproduction on paper.

Le choix des pigments, oxydes ou carbonates de fer, prolonge le lien entre la matrice métallique vieillie et sa reproduction sur le papier.
