Solitude 1

Drawing inspiration from the majestic interplay of mountains, sea, and light reflected on water, this is a limited edition collagraph print crafted with care and precision. Each piece is hand-printed on archival-quality Somerset cotton paper using professional oil-based inks, resulting in an exclusive edition of 20 prints.

In the collagraph technique, materials such as paper, tape, and fabric are adhered to a printing plate. For this specific print, carborundum—a coarse powder—is also employed to create the dark areas. The final plate is then inked and printed using an etching press.

Image size 20cm x 20cm, paper size 25cm x 25cm) pictured in a 30 x 30cm frame with a thick 6mm mount.

The print is supplied in three options:

1. Unframed in a cellophane wallet and protective card backing
2. Unframed with a 30cm x 30cm soft white acid free mount
3. Framed and mounted as pictured in the product photograph

Frames are high quality wooden, glass fronted photo/art frames with a smooth black finish. The mount board is 6 mm thick in soft white with a cut out that allows the title, edition details and signature to be seen. The mount board is acid free to protect the artwork and to prevent discoloration.

NOTE: The nature of the collagraph printing process ensures that each print is inherently unique. Variations in tone and textural details arise from the intaglio technique used to ink and wipe the plate, resulting in subtle differences between prints. Consequently, individual prints in the edition may differ slightly from the product description image.
