The suite of ‘robotic relief drawings’ came from several industrial manufacturing plants. The heavy etched brass plates have geometric guides that a stylus would follow and a larger hand would cut that shape. The plates were used to cut various shapes and windows of manufactured designs. I like these pieces because they are a sort of an automatic drawing, or as Duchamp would say a chance drawing. The lines and shapes have nothing to do with making artwork. Looking at these I thought they would make interesting relief prints if inked up and ran through an etching press. There are about 30 different designs and I made an edition of three. One edition remains and this is it. I will list individual prints separately. The plates are so deeply etched that you can see the embossing of the paper in the back (pictured). I rolled these with oil based ink and printed them on American Masters paper with a natural deckle edge. Measures 22’ x 30” signed
