Process:
Malcolm Childers begins his relief etchings by drawing on a coquille board which has an evenly rough and bumpy texture. He draws his image with a grease pencil and then has a full-size negative shot of it on a copy board. The rough texture of the board leaves a dotted half-tone-like pattern on the negative. He then corrects and proofs the negative on a light table. After proofing, the negative is placed under a photo lamp on a magnesium plate covered with a photo emulsion on one side. It is exposed to the light and the emulsion hardens where the light has passed through it. The plate is then submitted to an acid bath that sprays acid up at the spinning plate for one hour; all the emulsion not hardened by the light is washed off by the acid, and the bare metal underneath is bitten away. The plate is now ready to be inked; large rollers are used to apply the ink which adheres to the raised areas. (This is the distinguishing characteristic of relief etching as compared to intaglio where the ink is left in the recessed areas of the plate.) Childers then uses damp BFK Rives or other 100% rag French paper and presses the plate into the paper, leaving an image inked and detailed in the recessed area, with smooth un-inked areas in relief.
