A limited edition solarplate etching designed, inked and hand printed by me.
I’m always drawn to ferns. I love the way they unfurl in the shade to reveal their wonderful structure after winter. Nestled under a tree in the shade, unassuming and often over looked.
This solar print etching print was created using ferns gathered from the forest, which were etched into a specially prepared plate using sunshine, and hand printed by me using using Hawthorn Artist Quality oil based inks, Somerset 310gsm acid free paper and hand printed on a vintage press in The Curwen Print Studios. It is printed on an etching press and so has a wonderful embossed quality giving the fern an almost 3D effect.
The paper size is 38cm high by 28cm wide and the image itself is 14.8cm x 21cm (A5). It is supplied with an off white mountboard so it will fit a standard 16 x 12 inch frame. It is signed and the price includes UK postage. A certificate of authenticity will be provided. This is a limited edition of 50 and will be available in different colours. The first printed have a warm orange background.
