“During this period, cutting and carving marble slowly entered into my plate-making. For the first time, in this plate, I almost sculpted the images with carving chisels. All this brought about a total change to the preparation of the plate as well as to color printing. I became aware of the preciousness of the texture and how to maintain the texture in the relief surfaces when printing. I tried using only two rollers without using the soft roller. As a result, the rollers reached only shallow areas, leaving the deep hollows with intaglio ivory white surfaces.”
