Max Gimblett at HuiPress



Casey Neumann and Max Gimblett

New Zealand artist Max Gimblett, who has been living in New York for the past three decades, spent the summer of 2008 in residence at HuiPress teaching a workshop and working on a remarkable set of four Enso sugar lift etchings. The editions are printed chine collé on handmade Sekishu paper from Japan. Please visit our website to view the images.



The four OKTP proofs on the wall under the watchful eye of the resident Ida-ten, guardian of Rinzai Zen temples in Japan.





The sugar lift solution on copper plate (shown here) is dried; covered with a hard and thin asphaltum ground; "lifted" in warm water, exposing bare plate; dusted with rosin aquatint; and etched in ferric chloride for over an hour.
