Planetary Coexistence Suite (1978)
Monoprints on paper (BFK Rives).
This suite of five monoprints was created by Yolanda del Riego in 1978, while living in Alaska. They are among her few lithographic works and she created them following a lithography workshop taught by John Sommers (Technical Director of the Tamarind Institute) at the Visual Arts Center of Alaska.
Planetary Coexistence V is in the National Library of Spain [BNE INVENT/70273].
Technical description
The works were created without any permanent matrix, but rather by direct drawing onto an untreated aluminum lithographic plate.
The first pass through the etching press was with stencils inked directly onto paper with rollers. The second pass was with cut-up etched plates, inked using Hayter’s viscosity printing method.
