Voce Simul
par Jakub Niedziela (Pologne)

For some things to happen there must come first a misfortune – I must have used an expired gum for the mokulito plate, so the print that initially came out qualified to nothing else but "dark arts" category. There were three paper sheets waiting in the water though, and there was no time left to lose – I resorted to a collagraphy during the printing process to add calligraphy and drawing to complete the experiment. Technically, an offroad trip that turned out quite fine, the one I wouldn't have intended otherwise in my early adventures with printmaking.

The title and words are taken after the piece "Voce Simul" by Julia Holter from the album "Aviary".
