Fragile structure XI

‘Fragile structure XI’ is an original monotype by Carolyn Murphy, from a series of one-off images suggesting fragility and strength. This work came out of a year-long residency at Chester University, where I learnt to combine digital laser cutting technology with my hand made printmaking processes. I explored strong and fragile-looking structures in nature and engineering and used laser cut tissue as a mask to create a series of complex unique images.

Image size is approximately 29 x 18 cm, hand printed on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, signed, titled and numbered (1/1) on the reverse. The artwork is backed with board and wrapped in cellophane.
