This is an original limited edition lithographic print of a Barn Owl printed onto thin Japanese tissue with oil based inks. The reference photograph is by wildlife photographer, David Pallash, Barn Owls are common British birds and are found all over the world, apart from polar or desert regions.
Kozo paper comes from the Mulberry tree and is incredibly strong while being lightweight. Please be aware that this paper is very thin so will need mounting onto a white background for framing, though a good framer will easily be able to help.
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.
