Each print is centred on the sheet with a fixed side margin, and a deeper lower margin reserved for the signature and edition number. M and XL match the two sizes the artist printed himself and continue his original edition numbers; S and L are new editions of 50 beginning at no. 1.

Story

A dark green spire rises out of a broad, sand-coloured form, and where the two meet, a ring of small white flowers has been set.

The spire is severe; the base is heavy and quiet. Left to themselves they would have nothing to say to each other. The flowers are what make the join — a thin line of brightness laid exactly where the change happens, so that the eye can cross from one to the other without falling.

Joins are usually hidden. This one has been decorated instead.

Paper

A 100% cotton mould-made paper whose surface is comparable to traditional etching paper. Faithful to texture and detail.
