ʻĀkulikuli, Monotype Print, Panel by Andrea Pro.
This delicate succulent plant hugs the sand and lava along Hawaiʻi coastlines. This Hawaiʻi native plant is in the portulaca family, a common plant found in many gardens.
This is an original monotype combining printmaking techniques, including printing a background color from an inked plexiglas plate layered with a collagraph plate to add rich texture, embellished with pearlescent or metallic powdered pigments and a final printing with a wood block. A collagraph is created by adding a variety of paper, objects and gloss medium to a board, followed by inking and printing this relief surface onto paper.
Caring for your Panel:
Dust surface regularly with a soft cloth. Use care around edges where paper is adhered to the wood. The surface has been varnished with a UV protected varnish, however do not display in direct light.
