Bruno Leti is a Melbourne artist whose considerable output covers printmaking, painting and artist's books, sometimes crafted as explorations with poets. The term 'matrix' in printmaking refers to the block or plate from which the image is taken. There are many redundant matices in a printmaker's studio. "This book celebrates the 'Matrix', with extraordinary photographs and illuminating texts.".

Oblong quarto hardcover; illustrated boards; 128pp., colour illustrations. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "The matrix represents the print in its ideal and unrealised form, captured in marks and lines, awaiting ink and paper. While the matrix is essential for the production of a print, it is often discarded upon use, being considered a residual left-over, extraneous to the outcome. The completed print on the other hand, is a reflection of the image on the matrix, a mirror. Yet in the act of printing, the matrix is transformed, re-configured by printer's ink or paint. Bruno Leti's plates were never intended to be viewed as works of art separate to the prints for which they were made. Yet, looking at them closely, these matrices go some way toward uncovering the beauty and mystery of the printmaking process. Bruno's matrices reveal themselves to us in the play of light and shadow, their rectangular forms criss-crossed with lines and markings, scraped into metal like a secret language. Elusive and unknowable they present themselves as mysterious objects, illuminating Bruno Leti's practice as artist and printmaker." - Des Cowley 9781921394300.
