I rescued this broken sign from a muddy drain near Churchill and flattened it out in order to put through the press like an etching plate. See my page 'found metal' - tips for printers - needless to say the crucial pressure applied by the top roller is arrived at carefully and gradually. In December 2016 I used the access studio at Castlemaine Press to edition some large prints, including the plate for Tramway Road, which measures 90 cm square. Access studios such as Castlemaine Press are important in their function to facilitate artistic practice and education. Photo credit: Sherene Clow. Back home in Gippsland I added some gouache wash and removed the white paper borders of the print. Tramway Road is an edition of 4 prints, available through Port Jackson Press Gallery in Melbourne.
