Artwork description:

This etching is inked up using a roller, so rather than pushing the ink into the etched lines of the plate, as is common practice, I have ran the roller over the plate so the lines pick no ink up, as I would with a linocut. This is a scene inspired by the area I grew up in. It is an original etching pulled from a scrap copper plate, hence the rough, uneven edges and the grainy appearance, which makes for a print full of character.

The work is printed on top quality somerset printmaking paper. It is a very rare artist's proof. (An artist's proof can be defined both as a print taken during progress of the work for the artist's benefit and it can often be a small edition of the work the artist has kept aside as his/her best versions of the print).

Your print will come wrapped in protective tissue paper to reach you in the best condition.

If you have any questions relating to the work before purchase please don't hesitate to ask me.

Materials used:

scrap copper, paper, printmaking ink
