The #mothproject is all but complete. 20 #mezzotints of British #moths (all common, all declining)in just over a year. All thats left now is to complete the editioning. News soon of exhibitions and what I hope will be a rather lovely book.
Surprised and delighted to learn that I have been honoured with the prize for "adhering to the skills and traditions of the medium" at the International Festival of #Mezzotint at the Museum of Fine Art in #Yekaterinburg #Russia this week.
More from yesterday's session proofing this large #mezzotint of a #PaleEmerald #Moth . Getting texture and life into mezzotint is challenging but they need to emerge as a real presence for me..something more than #naturalhistory @Coombestudios @ukprintmakers
