Kakayi Etching - Etsen

Mesopotamia in graphic:

Photopolymer is a polymer that cures, or becomes solid, when exposed to light. The word polymer means “many parts” and is defined as any material, synthetic or organic, consisting of small simple molecules chained together to form a larger molecule. The photo in photopolymer denotes its sensitivity to light.

Photopolymer is also used to print type and art. A printing plate made of photopolymer can be used in a letterpress, and also has some advantages over traditional lead or magnesium plates. Photopolymer plates are easier to design than metal. In addition, they require less maintenance, they are more environmentally friendly because they are not etched with acids, and their surface is resistant to abrasion and therefore will not wear down - making for a longer useable life and more consistent type. A consumer can use computer design software to set type, as well as incorporate any images or artwork. Photopolymers are imaging compositions based on polymers monomers which can be selectively polymerized and crosslinked upon imagewise exposure by light radiation such as ultra-violet light. For final use, which find outlets in printing plates, photoresists, stereolithography and imaging. Photoresists are used to make integrated circuits, flat panel displays, printed circuits, coatings and inks.

If there was no Art ,the rawnees of the reality on the world was unbearable . ( g.Bernard shaw -1921)

IThe cradle of civilization country of two streams - Eufrat and Tigris

Rarely or never a civilization developed which could compete with Mesopotamic culture. Everything was spread by the urgent impact of the cities of this first human culture across the world. With its philosophical, economical, technological and literary manifestation, it made clear that these men had made their original existence”

neverthless around 5000 year before christ the advance of human civilization a people that we know under the name Sumerièrs ,Babylonians , Assyrians.....raisd the first civilization the famous royal library of assurbanipal with his broad 25000 tablets of clay ,written in cuneiform script, was assembled in Ninive to the surprise and joy of the world. in order to explain assyrian history,land between the rivers contains many traces of their civilization. there is also the invention of script the wheel and of the law . These etchings only show a finger tip work of unity to see if there ever was adrop from a sea...I would like to build a bridge between the past and the present ,because the historical and cultural value of its art and civilization never dies.... kakayi Belgium 5-4-08
