All my works on paper are drypoint etchings. Each original print is made by scratching the image into a metal plate which is then inked up by hand and run through my printing press with damp paper on top. The plate gets pressed into the paper (see the embossed edge around each image?) and the ink is transferred from the plate onto the paper. Every print in the edition is inked up individually therefore slight variations may occur and each one is referred to as an 'original print.'
