Living Foundation- Original Intaglio, Edition of Seven

10x13 Intaglio piece printed with archival quality inks and paper. 

Intaglio is a process where you carve or etch a metal plate, rub the ink into the carving, wipe the excess off, and then print using a printing press. The paper must have a high rag content because you soak it in water prior to printing. Once the print comes out you must flatten it for a minimum of 24 hours. Each piece is considered an original because of this process. Prints are made in an edition and then often the plate is canceled or destroyed. This adds value to the print because it means that no more will be made. 

The first person to order will receive print 1/7, the second person will receive print 2/7, and so on.
