These images are made using traditional etching processes. They are created using a zinc, copper or aluminium plate and individually printed by hand on a flat-bed printing press. Because of this process, there are slight differences between prints which makes each an individual piece of art. This is known as a variable edition. Where there has been only one print made in certain colours, this is known as a unique state.

​

Etchings are available to purchase unframed in Australia at prices indicated. Please email using the contact form if you would like to purchase a piece and we will provide payment details. If you would like the etching supplied with a frame, we recommend Fantastic Framing. Please visit their website at www.fantasticframing.com.au for framing options and pricing. We will send the etching to Fantastic Framing who will then dispatch to you, once framed.
