Historically, art and information carved and cast in stone and metal engraving were recorded and preserved by taking a rubbing of the surface. In the early 20th century ,Max Ernst revived this practice calling it Frottage, from the french word meaning to rub. This video is part one of a three part series on the Frottage technique. In this first video, I have included an introductory bio.  Then join me as I  ventured out into my community in the Vancouver Lower mainland to find opportunities to demonstrate this technique. These demo takes place at Richmond City hall and the Surrey Central Cemetery.
