Print research - Dry point

My Artist research for this is Elizabeth Dagger, who talks about two pieces of work I like here http://electrofork.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/dry-point-printing/ . I like the high contrast in black and white, how she uses it well to draw your eye to a cirtain part of the image. As well as the simplicity of the print, I find I sometimes over complicate mine or the ink doesn't transfer over as I wish.

I also found Christine Willcock  http://www.capegallery.com.au/christinewillcocksexhibition/index.html  She does some good sillouets and I quite like the effect it has. It looks quite natural and fitting for her subject.
