Originally, there was an octopus and a computer circuit;Someone photographed both and I used those photos in Photoshop to create a drawing; The negative of the file exported from Photoshop was printed on tracing paper to serve as a base for the serigraphy done on the zinc plates, which would act as a mask to protect certain areas during the acid bath; The zinc, then, was prepared with powdered resin and dipped in acid to be corroded in places where there was no serigraphic ink, thus revealing the image; Finally, the ink was applied and removed from the plates, in the inking process, in order to increase the contrast and visibility of the drawing.
