Gabi Wagner's means of expression is etching . In doing so, she transcends the traditional way of working with drypoint by using objets trouvés such as Tetra Paks , floppy disks or CDs to print . Your experimental work is therefore a modern further development of traditional working methods. In addition, she has developed a technology that does not require the usual use of toxic substances for etching .
