Artwork description:

I think it is because of my Scandi heritage that I sam so fascinated by Ravens, mysterious messengers for the mythology gods. A collagraph, means that I have on a pice of cardboars, made cuts, removed the first layer of cardboard to create mid tones, cut a bit deeper and removed more of the layers to get the really dark blacks, where I want light colors, I have add laquer so I can clean thaat area really well, all this is time consuming. When I have done my cutting, the plate needs to be laquered, in Because of the fragility of the cardboard plate, I get very few prints, in my mind that makes it more fun for me, it is a very creative way of making prints and you will see more of them in the future. I have printed 6 Ravens, and that is it, they all come with small difference one to the other, I hope you will treasure this as part of the handmade process. I have signed, titled and numbered each print. The beautiful warm white paper measures 27" x 19" (68 cm x 48 cm ) and the actual printed area measures 19" x 16" (58 cm x 38 cm ) The print is striking and can frame large if you wish to make a statement piece. I ship from Denmark, with DDP to the US, with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many happy reviews. Thank you for looking, Welcome back, Mariann
