Here, I have taken that same spirit of direct printing and applied it to sourdough, creating a playful meeting point between traditional printmaking, food and contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep black ink works beautifully against the warm, delicate surface of the Xuan paper, highlighting the irregularities and organic texture of the bread. Every mark and variation is part of the original impression, giving the artwork a wonderfully tactile and graphic quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of \u003cstrong\u003eChinese Xuan paper\u003c\/strong\u003e adds another traditional element to the piece.
