One Good Fish

Hand Tinted Soft Ground Etching Plate Size: 9.5cm x 11.5cm

A delicate little person... with places to go...

ONE GOOD FISH is part of a series of work drawn from much loved fish Sioban had in the studio. These fish became a rich source of material which she developed into further etchings as well as into copper sculpture.

The plate was drawn from life, then 're-ground', leaves pressed into the ground, 're-bitten', and then printed in the usual way. Once the print was dry, watercolours were used to tint the print as you see here.

Black and white prints from the edition are also available.
