What is a Monotype print?
A Monotype print is a unique, one of a kind print. It is an original handmade print with one major difference from other printmaking processes: the artist creates exactly one print, instead of multiples (called editions). This is due to the way a monotype is made.
I create them by manipulating the ink on a smooth metal printing plate and by adding and subtracting the objects from my garden. The image then gets transferred to paper by putting it through a printmaking press. By pressing the ink & paper together with the pigments sandwiched in between, I am able to create textures not possible using other printmaking techniques. They are printed with a custom mixture of oil-based inks to create rich unique colours that mirror nature on Stonehenge Archival Printmaking Paper.
They range in size from (9"h x 6"w to 11.625"h x 9"w)
