Emilie Clark Spit Biting Plates at HuiPress Studio

Wife and husband team, artist Emilie Clark and Poet Lytle Shaw, collaborated on a forthcoming portfolio of seven spit bite etchings with text. The series, Over Cook, is based on the voyages of Captain James Cook to the Hawaiian islands. Here is a video of the action in the studio. Lytle is trying out titles on Emilie who is busy spit biting an image with nitric acid on copper. The working proof is pinned to the wall above the sink and HuiPress printers Casey Neumann and Nichol Markowitz are busy working on preparing and proofing more plates.
