 Fairy Armadillo "Fairy Armadillo" is an odd little print that has a wonderfuly mysterious antique quality. It was created by combining two processes, Van Dyke Brown, which is an alternative photographic process that turns the image a deep permanent brown. and “spit-bite” etching, which is painting on a copper using a strong dilution of nitric acid and water to bite the painting into the plate. The image itself was created by blending two photographs I took at University College London’s Department of Zoology bone museum back when I was a student at The Slade School of Fine Art. This is one of those ideas which took over a decade to finaly make it to finished print."Fairy Armadillo" was exposed and printed at the Honolulu Printmakers workshop, Hawaii, in 2004. H 8.25” X W 22” - "Fairy Armadillo" - $ 20 |
