INSPIRATION

The Sill, a landscape art original print by Irish artist Carol Nunan who lives and works in Northumberland.

The print is created using a technique called blind embossing from a richly textured collagraph plate and incorporating monotype printmaking from nature taken from the hedgerows of the landscape where Carol lives and works.

‘I incorporate real plants into my work, plants that I pick from the roadside. I like to experiment with different ways of printing an existing plate too. Prior to making this particular print, I have inked and printed the same plate using these plants which had picked up the coloured ink on the underside. In this instance, I decided to allow the colour on the plants underside to create the focus in the print, so the base plate was ‘blind embossed’ i.e., no ink added to the plate surface, with the plants layer on the surface ink side up. The paper I used is Fabriano Rosapina because it has particularly good moulding properties to bring our the textured surface of the base plate.’
