- About The Wave Study #1
A bon a tirer (or BAT) is translated "good to pull". This impression is used to compare all other impressions against. Any other impressions must match by appearance and qualitatively in order to qualify to be part of the numbered edition, which in this case is limited to 30 impressions.
Chine references China in French. Colle is French for glued.
"A technique, used in conjunction with printmaking processes such as etching or lithography, that results in a two-layered paper support: a tissue-thin paper, cut to the size of the printing plate, and a larger, thicker support paper below. Both the tissue and the support sheet are placed on top of the inked plate and run together through the printing press, sometimes with a thin layer of adhesive between them to reinforce the bond produced through the pressure of the press. The process creates a subtle, delicate backdrop to the printed image." Museum of Modern Art's definition for chine colle.
