Giovanni Cesare Testa c.1630-1655
Half-human and half-horse, centaurs are a classical emblem of the struggle between humankind’s rational and animalistic sides. Perrier’s centaur is inspired by the ancient Greek marble sculpture showing the beast teased by Eros (Cupid), winged god of love.
Copper plate etching from the experimental 'B' side. 10 X 10 cms on 250 gsm Somerset.
The abstract is a take on the view when walking first thing in the east field; broken wooden fences look beautiful in their decay as they catch the sun.
P.S. I out this through a filter on the computer because the old grey wasn't doing it for me. Shall try to print it more like this next week.
color etching; 2 plates, 1 is sandblasted (key plate) and brown plate is spit bite wash. Red lines are drawn on..

award.renecarcan.be/selected-works I have been selected at René Carcan 2016 competition and I need votes to get the chance to win the Public Prize. Thanks for your help my friends!
Last night I laser-etched the top of my Eee PC with the complete level maps of Super Mario Land ( on the Game Boy).

Candidate ‘green’ satellite propellants within a temperature-controlled incubator, undergoing heating as a way to simulate the speeding up of time.
Today hydrazine is the most common propellant employed by thrusters aboard satellites: it is highly energetic in nature but also toxic and corrosive, as well as dangerous to handle and store. ESA initiated a study with European Astrotech Ltd in the UK to look into greener propellants and propulsion systems, to provide comparable performance with reduced toxicity and handling costs.
The testing investigated the compatibility between a variety of current and future materials and weld combinations with two propellant candidates in detail while checking others as well. By using materials already present in propulsion systems, the aim is to help to reduce any necessary modifications needed, shrinking costs and development times.
An eight-month test cycle became the equivalent of 5.33 years on-orbit by elevating temperature, hunting out for any degradation in the welds, materials and propellants – such as broken welds, material mass loss or etching.
Two green propellants called LMP-103S – flight-tested on Sweden’s Prisma formation flying mission – and HTP – high-test peroxide, previously used in past UK rockets – were shown to have compatibility with up to ten welded materials (while HTP was incompatible with titanium).
The project was supported through ESA’s Technology Development Element, investigating promising innovations for space.
It comes in response to the European Commission’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) regulation, that seeks to limit industry’s use of chemical substances that may be hazardous to human health or the environment.

In Nuremberg, it suddenly struck me I had seen the old town before: on some etchings that my uncle gave my parents as a wedding present.
My sister took this photo of one when I got back, and checking wikipedia I found that it is based on a 1900 photo postcard..

Still in progress. THANK YOU to Janet "JKissnHug" for allowing me to use her photograph as a basis for this etching!! See her wonderful photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/jkissnhug/3536861490/in/set-7215761...
I needed this small plate (15x 25 cm) as an experiment for a larger project. I had wet a few sheets of paper to print it. Usually you wet the paper the night before and keep it moist; the moisture soaks the fibers evenly, so that during printing the pressure of the press pushes it into even the finest marks to grab off the ink. But I didn't print, the day after.
I forgot the wet paper for more than a month in a plastic bag. When picked it up it was still wet but with a pleasant pink mold.
So - even considering the subject matter - I printed the etching on the moldy paper and this is the result.
Questa piccola lastra (15x 25 cm) mi serviva come esperimento per un progetto di maggiori dimensioni. Avevo bagnato qualche foglio di carta per stamparla. Di solito la carta si bagna la sera prima e si mantiene umida, in modo che l’umidità impregni le fibre uniformemente, così che durante la stampa la pressione del torchio la spinge dentro i segni anche più fini a strappare l’inchiostro. Poi non ho stampato. E ho dimenticato la carta bagnata per più di un mese in una busta di plastica. L’ho presa ed era ancora umida ma con una piacevole muffa rosa.
Così anche considerando il soggetto, ho stampato sulla carta ammuffita e questo è il risultato.
