Description

There is just one Artist’s Proof available from a limited edition of 20. There is a barely visible, tiny ink mark in the water. Please look carefully at the associated photograph.

The title of this print came easily to me for a change after watching these avocets sifting through the mud near Burnham Deepdale in Norfolk. These distinctive birds with their turned up beaks are always entertaining to watch. The reduction method (my favourite technique) uses a single piece of lino to produce a multi-coloured print.  As the block is essentially destroyed during the process, a reduction print can never be reprinted.

Print size 260 x 180mm. Hand printed on Somerset Satin 250g paper using a small relief press. Due to the nature of the printmaking process minor variations can occur between prints, making each one a truly unique piece of artwork. The artwork will be shipped flat in a sturdy cardboard envelope.
