Artwork description:
Seen in the Hittite Museum in Istanbul, this inscribed sculpted Duck was over a meter long and must have weighed many hundreds of kilos. I could not resist drawing it on the spot and this started a series of bird related images. It took some time to find a partner duck sculpture form, and eventually I found the China Duck peeking down from a mantlepiece in Portugal. Both prints were worked in tandem, both involving one carved cardboard printing plate for the textural detail overprinting a flat colour aquatinted etched plate.
Materials used:
intaglio printmaking, two plate colour printing, aquatint and collagraph printed on fine printing paper.
