This drypoint monoprint was created in 2025. The edition number is 1/1. The image size is 6 x 8 in. The paper size is 8 x 10 in. The framed dimensions are 11.5 x 13.75 in.
This artwork has been framed with archival material and UV protective glass.
A monoprint plate has some etched marks on it. But the etching is only part of the image making. The artist paints onto the plate other elements that, when printed, constitute the image. The permanent marks on the plate (the etched incisions) remain for the artist to use again. However, because the defining characteristics were only painted onto the original plate, when pressed against the paper they are transferred (hence monoprints are only ever signed as 1/1.) When the artist uses the plate to make subsequent prints, each print will vary since the painted elements are unique to each plate. An artist may therefore produce similar monoprints, but no two will be identical.
