In The Darkness, Seeds Fall - Monoprint - A4 1/1

''In The Darkness, Seeds Fall'' is a nighttime depiction of grasses in the wild, as their seeds disperse in the wind. This monoprint, contains elements of depth through printing onto the plate with the plant itself, drawing elements onto the plate and seeds printed. The darker tones and more black ink areas lend themselves to the feeling of nighttime, that nature is still thriving, living and surviving whilst we sleep.

- 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.
