Dragons and Damsels

By  Diana Ashdown 2015
Two plate lino print. The first plate is caustic etched, intaglio inked, second plate is cut vinyl and relief inked and printed using an etching press. Printed on 300gsm hahnemuhle etching paper. I wanted this image to look as if the dragonflies were preserved in a museum drawer, the background looking like a floral lining paper, used in a domestic setting.
