The piece features a Rhino Stag beetle. In our signature drawing style (a mix of geometry & organic lines, with fine lines and micro dots)
The beetle is decorated with Sacred Geometry (A series of geometric patterns, shapes & forms with symbolic value or meanings. Occurring in nature & all living things)
It also features an embossed P.A Logo.
This piece is printed using a copper etching plate.
Intaglio etching is a labour intensive printmaking technique that involves incising the lines & dots (with a sharp point) onto a copper plate (which is coated in a resist ground). When the plate is immersed in Ferric Chloride it will bite into the exposed drawing. This process is then repeated many times. The lines are also enhanced with the Aquatint spray paint method.
The plate is then inked with etching ink. The ink sits in the grooves, whilst the surface ink is wiped off. The ink is then drawn from the incised lines, onto dampened paper, using an etching press.
Each print takes a long time to produce.
These highly detailed, intricate plates ensure each print is unique, making every piece a true one-of-a-kind etching.
I print in small editions, keeping the work precious and limited. Please Note - Each print may vary slightly, as they are individually printed by hand.
- I generally have a proportion of the edition already printed.Please be aware that the pieces may be printed to order. It may take up to two weeks to fulfil your order (accounting for the drying time)If you have any particular deadlines, it may be better to get in touch to check lead-times. Please email Dionne@puncturedartefact.com.Items are posted from the UK. The etching may be sent in a self folding box. It may also contain up-cycled packaging. UK, Europe & International charges apply.
