Golden Oat Grass 2 - Monoprint - A4 1/1

''Golden Oat Grass 2'' is part of a 4-piece experimental monoprint, unlike my usual style I have printed in multiple layers to fill in details within the print. Featuring the ghost shadow-like textures of the grasses paired with the darkness of the background. This piece was made at the tail end of last summer when I started exploring printmaking with grass. It now features in this year's summer collection as it was never shown. 

• A4. Original piece, handprinted. 1/1
• Fabriano Unica paper, 250gsm. 50% cotton. 
• Black ink. Soy based.

- The wooden hanger is for photography purposes only, it is not being sold as part of the listing, thank you - 

The technique of botanical monoprinting is a slow process, requiring all plants to be pressed for a few weeks before printmaking. Each piece is carefully curated using individual plants, making your artwork unique. The plant is inked up evenly and then put through the etching press with my chosen paper, where it presses the plant into the paper leaving an intricate copy of the delicate details.

This process allows me to slow down, by going on regular foraging walks I can connect with my surroundings. I hope this piece will enable you to feel closer to nature and appreciate the smaller details within the world of botany. 

Your print will come with a biodegradable sleeve, backing board and a thoughtful thank you note, all carefully packaged in tissue paper and wrapping paper to ensure its safe arrival.
