Laser Wood Art

Laser Wood Art is a form of intaglio printmaking, where an image is incised into a metal plate using acid.

 

The incised lines hold ink, which is then transferred to paper through a printing press. Unlike engraving, which involves carving directly into the metal, etching uses acid to "bite" into the exposed areas of the plate.

Etching is both technical and poetic—a dance between control and chance, where the bite of acid reveals the soul of the image.
