Drypoint, collage and monoprint 19 x 32 cm

This piece was inspired by a walk at Eggardon Hill in Dorset, England. An Iron Age hill fort, the surrounding countryside has a sway and movement to it, as if the earth were moving underneath it's skin. The sheep that graze it's sides make regular lines and patterns in the grass- a gift to the artist. In this piece, we are looking outwards to the surrounding countryside from the fort.

This work on paper is 32 x 19 cms. It is sold unframed, but float mounted (showing the edges of the paper) on archival quality mount board, ready to take to your framer.

Process

This piece has been started as a drypoint etching- a plate made by scratching into metal or card. This was then printed on an etching press at Spike print Studio in Bristol. I have then collaged coloured and textured tissue paper into the pieces, as well as hand mono-printed onto them (this is like printed painting- very gestural). Each piece emerges from the process completely unique- albeit with a family resemblance to the others in the series.
