Artwork description:

This is a photopolymer etching inspired by my morning runs along the canal in Hackney. It's part of a variable edition so do ask if you want to see other colour options or have a request for colour.

In this printmaking process, an image is transferred to a light sensitive plate, called a solarplate, and exposed to the sun or inside a lightbox. After the image is transferred to the plate, the plate is rinsed in water, dried, and then inked and printed on an etching press. Though photographs can be used in this process, drawings can also be done on ground glass and the image transferred to the light sensitive plates.

Materials used:

ink, paper, etching plate
