Artwork description:

This art work is part of the nature and technology series. Sometimes we forget to look around us because we are too caught up in lives lived on the screens (computer, mobile phone etc) so I wanted to create this series that puts the naturalistic or animal element in the foreground by paying attention to a background that represents that of a chat.

Actual image size is 30x24,4cm; hand-printed on a larger sheet of paper to allow for mounting and framing.
Paper size: 50 cm x 35 cm
Each print is numbered and signed.

Wood engraving is a form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works.

Materials used:

wood, cotton paper, Chinese paper and Charbonnel ink
