Artwork description

London Fields Lido, the outdoor swimming pool in Hackney, East London, under a dark blue sky and lit atmospherically by flood lights.

This is a handmade original etching with aquatint. It started as a pencil sketch which was then redrawn onto a wax coated zinc plate with an etching needle. The plate was then dipped in acid which 'bites' the exposed line leaving deep grooves to hold ink.
The plate is inked for every print in the edition, meaning each one is unique.

Orders are wrapped in acid-free tissue, rolled into a thick-walled 10cm wide cylinder and shipped signed and tracked within four days.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Materials used:

Somerset Satin paper 300g, Intaglio inks, zinc plate, etching press
