The Rising Valley - Limited Edition of 14 Print

Details: Limited Edition of 14 Signed and numbered on the front Screenprint with graphite powder and ink 50 x 70cm Unframed About: Inspired by traditional Japanese and Chinese landscape paintings and prints, and in particular, Sansuiga (Japan) or Shanshui (China); paintings which depict an idealised landscape, primarily using the forms of mountains, rivers, clouds and mist. A limited edition mountain landscape screenprint on arcoprint paper, hand pulled by the artist in her Brighton printmaking studio. This is the first print in this series that compliment each other when hung together. The other artwork is The Valley Below. Technique: This print was created by assembling a digital collage, made up of a combination of old 35mm slides that were found in a flea market, which were then scanned, photographs taken in various places on travels, and watercolour paintings, before being taken into the print studio. The image was printed on a transparency and a mesh screen was coated in a light sensitive emulsion, which was left to dry in a dark room. When dry, the image was exposed onto the screen using UV light, with the black parts of the image blocking out the light, meaning that the emulsion didn’t harden on the darker parts of the image. The screen was then washed to remove any unexposed emulsion, leaving the image on the screen to be printed. Ink and graphite powder were mixed with printing medium and a squeegee was hand pulled to push the ink through the mesh on the areas of the exposed image, onto paper to create a screenprint.
