Original artwork description:

This is a monoprint (or monotype) and it's unique, there's only one. It was made by inking up a blank printing plate, then selectively removing the ink in selected areas to create the design. The plate is run through an etching press in contact with a sheet of damp paper. The press squeezes the paper against the printing plate with thousands of force, transferring the ink onto the paper. The plate is left blank, so only one print can be produced. The shape of the plate is forever embossed into the paper.
FRAMED AND READY TO HANG. The print is mounted on soft white bevel-cut conservation grade mountboard and in a very solidly hand made solid pine frame. I can supply this either in black or natural pine, both with a lovely waxed finish. Glazed with optical grade acrylic "glass" as preferred by most museums due to it's superior protection and safety factors.
