This original art print is a wood engraving of a Robin on a stump. It is a very detailed illustration using fine wood engraving tools on a highly carved piece of maple wood. Printed using an old Gem Letterpress proofing press at Spike Print Studio in Bristol. It is printed in black ink onto white Zerkall paper. Please note that this paper is a warm white colour, not cream as it may appear on some screens.
About the artist:
Fiona Hamilton is a Bristol based printmaker. Her work explores the ecological sublime and an appreciation of the majesty of nature. She uses detailed intaglio etching, drypoint, lithography and chine collé to draw the viewer into an ethereal landscape that has an impact on our sense of place in relation to the natural world. She uses primarily black and white with natural tones of chine collé and sometimes layers of lithographic texture to introduce warmth to the stark palette and to invoke a sublime emotional connection. She works from sketches, photographs, notes and memory to create my prints.
Fiona has an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from The University of the West of England (2023). Previously she studied Graphic Fine Art at Canterbury (2002) and established Soma Gallery in 2004.
