Susan Schwei: Special Guest

Made with a Solar Plate. Susan created the image which she then transferred onto a steel plate with a polymer surface. When exposed to the sun or UV light, the plate was etched with the image she created. The artist inked, embellished the plate with color, and ran it through a printing press to create the image on paper.
