A hand-pulled original etching created using collected flowers, leaves and seed pods. There are two versions of an artist's proof available here using combinations of different plants at different stages in their growth cycle: Sycamore, Hosta, Honesty, Oceanspray (Holodiscus), Magnolia, Lichen, Fennel and Clematis. The imprinted images have been created a soft-ground etching technique, and each etched image is an individual etched plate.

This print is hand-inked and printed on Somerset 250g paper. Each print will be slightly different to the next in colour, tone and positioning of the individual etching plates.
The image size is approximately 25 x 25 cm. The paper size is 30 x 30 cm.
An artist's proof does not form part of a printed edition. It is work created as part of the evolution of the final print. As such it may vary from the final printed edition. It is often a one-off or an experiment which leads to the final edition print-run.
