Inspiration
I’ve been making collagraphs and working with pressed botanicals for a while now, but here, I’ve been afforded the opportunity to combine what I have learnt with my passion for ceramics, specifically footed bowls.
Introducing 'Raised and Renewed' - a stunning gicleé print of three simply shaped bowls, elegantly adorned with botanical decorations. The muted tones of the pots exude a sense of understated sophistication, making them a perfect addition to your art collection.
For those who appreciate the beauty of kintsugi, the print can also include gold additions.
The Finer Details
Gicleé print from an original collagraph and botanical element print.
This is a limited edition Gicleé print (it is a digital reproduction from the original).
This print is also available with hand embelished gold foil, to represent a repair based on the Kintsugi technique, of celebrating mends and the poetic history found in fractures. Please let me know at the time of ordering which you would prefer. Each gold application will be different.

How Its Made
I take time to ceate, by hand, the collagraph, using a range of tools and materials, including mountboard, carborundum to give texture and through peeling and scraping to create different tonal qualities. The plant itself is pressed (sometimes for weeks) before committing to print. I thinly ink up the botanical element and the collagraph plate, then run these through my etching press, hand cranking it onto pre dampened paper.
The Gicleé prints are digital images, using a specialist specialist printer with 12 ink tanks.
The gold foil element is hand applied so each one is unique. The print may be purchsed with or without this addition. Please let me know which you would prefer when purchasing.
All prints come unframed, and are signed, titled and numbered by hand.
