Monotype

Layers of ink, highlighted brushstrokes, transfer techniques and cut velum paper create movement in this piece. The monotype process was invented by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609-64), an Italian painter and etcher. Monotyping produces a unique print where most of the ink is removed during the initial pressing. Subsequent reprintings are possible and are called “ghost prints.”
