Shark feeding


In a limited edition, original etchings signed and numbered:
iNK-
Title: Shark-feeding
size: 30 x 40 cm

Technical info:Drypoint needle etchings are the result of ink being forced out of the incised lines (rims) in a zinc or copper plate using a heavy press, leaving slightly raised ink on the paper and a characteristic plate mark showing the edges. The pressure on these rims limit the quantity of images possible to produce. Gradually the rims will be flattened and the image will vanish. The physical constraints of the media used, the technique involved and the amount of time required to hand-beat each image are all reflected in the price.
