This hand-printed piece pairs bright paper circles (cut from brayer roll-off sheets from gelli printing) with bold, black graphic depictions of aquilegia in their various forms - a leaf, hanging flower in profile, flower from the front, and two bendy, twisty sculptural seedhead forms. The paper circles with their pinks, oranges and teals give an impression of the colourful nature of a cottage garden, in which the aquilegia is often found.
Printed by hand onto cotton rag paper using hand-carved rubber blocks and archival inks. Each element has small differences in tone and texture, which is part of what makes it feel human and lived-in.
Approximate size 8.5x8.5”
Soft textured paper with a deckled edge.
Signed on the front.
Will be shipped with a board backing in a cellophane bag in a mailing box so that it arrives in perfect condition.
