Capturing
two swimmers in open water in the morning sunshine…
I have redrawn my image onto a grounded zinc plate before putting it in acid
which 'bites' the exposed line, forming deep grooves to hold ink. An aquatint
was added to achieve the tones and the plate is inked and pulled through an
etching press for every print in the limited edition, meaning each one is
unique.
