(iii) Stamping

Let's stamp using various materials with paints. Anything is acceptable as a stamp.

In principle, things except for fluid can become stamping material, and they are categorized into reproducible forms and forms with uncertain elements used only once. Paper forms and wooden forms for printing and pressing are generally called "forms" to be used for printing.

Reproducibility of the work can be secured because those patterns maintain a fixed form. However, in the examples below, a fixed shape of the form is difficult to maintain although the material is solid. Thus, the same shape can never be reproduced. In other words, they are a non-fixed form, and become patterns of strong uncertainty.
