Artwork description:

'5,500 Miles To See You' is a mono print and image transfer print based on a photograph taken while in Sokcho, South Korea. The title numbers the miles I travelled from London to the beach in Sokcho to look out at the East Sea.

It is printed on Korean Hanji paper with oil-based relief ink and watercolour. Hanji paper is made from mulberry leaves. It has a distinctive texture and is simultaneously sensitive to print techniques and yet can stand up to several layers of processing. The fibrous nature of the paper becomes revealed as the print is developed and worked on, and due to this there may be wrinkles and areas where the paper has been worn thin. As watercolours are used in areas of this piece it is recommended not to display in direct sunlight.

This print comes presented in a neutral coloured window mount, ready to frame.

There may be printmaking marks or creases on the paper outside the image, which is due to the handmade nature of the printmaking, and also the texture of the paper used.
