      Gorodine uses a Carborundum Engraving technique to create her prints. This technique doesn't require any chemical or mechanical action, it is not necessary to use copper or zinc any support will do as long as it can withstand pressure without deteriorating. Unlike the traditional engraving process, where the surface of the plate is cut into or hollowed out, this technique creates a rough surface on the plate of different texture calibers by applying varnish or sprinkling on carborundum power, using fabrics or string any number of items. All this is molded into a synthetic resin which hardens when it dries. The printing process is similar to the traditional one.
