Winter's Night Print - Limited Edition of 15

An atmospheric, abstract 'Monoprint' etching, evoking a swirly, mysterious winter's night. This artwork was created using a 'marbling' technique on a steel plate. The nature of printing of steel results in very 'granular' and deep, rich colour, almost like velvet (this is hard to appreciate from a photograph). To me, this print evokes the feeling of a forest, with a large tree, centrally placed. Each etching is individually inked on the plate. Each plate uses slightly different colours, therefore I have presented this as a series of 'Mono Prints', as no two are the same. Each print varies according to the application of the coloured inks. This etching was created using a steel plate, stop out varnish and acid. When the design has been completed and the plate 'etched' in acid, professional coloured etching inks are smeared onto the plate and selectively removed. The image is created by placing the inked plate onto the bed of an etching press, with a sheet of 'Somerset' heavy weight, white paper, on top. The press is then 'hand wound', pressing the plate and paper together, transferring the image onto the paper. The image is printed onto a larger white sheet, with edges showing, including signature, title and date (see additional photograph).
