The piece features a selection of stylised beetles in our signature drawing style (a mix of geometry & organic lines) With layers of fine lines and micro dots.

A Punctured Artefact Icon, is also embossed into the luxurious paper.

Each etching is signed & numbered on the front by the artist, in pencil.
Intaglio etching is a labour intensive printmaking technique that involves incising a design onto a copper plate, with a sharp point. It is then etched in Ferric Chloride, which bites the design into the copper plate. This was repeated 3 times on these plates.

In addition, an acrylic sprayed aquatint is used to create areas of tone within the broader lines & dots.

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 may take up to an hour 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.
