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.”
