''Grass Bunch 6'', is part of an ongoing series of bouquet-style monoprints. In the summer months, as the grass grows tall, I pick and dry it to make a series of grass prints in September. This is my second year of the bouquet-style prints. I create them by arranging a two-dimensional bouquet and tying it together. I'll then create a monoprint from the grasses, like normal, laying the bouquet onto the inked printing plate. This is larger than the previous 5 prints, the paper size is A3.
Different grass species.
A3 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.
