Description
This is an original, one-of-a-kind, hand-rubbed impression taken from the actual fish. Printed using the direct method of gyotaku using an archival, water soluble, printmaking ink that is oil-based and rubbed onto washi rice paper. It is PH neutral (acid free). The paper measures 14 x 24 and has a soft deckle edge. Fish provided courtesy of my spear-fishing friend and neighbor, Javier.
One of the main ways to protect your artwork from moisture, dust, and UV rays is to frame it under conservation glass or acrylic which has a coating that blocks the UV rays. A mat is optional, as long as the artwork is not in direct contact with the glass.
Titled in the lower left corner “Weke `ula (Mulloidichthys pfluegeri)”, signed in pencil, and stamped with my red chop in the lower right corner. Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
