Gum arabic prints - Back in June


After a couple of weeks working totally digitally (see previous post) I returned to print many more gum arabic prints.  Here are three of them.    The bottom images were two of the prints accepted  in the A4 Print exhibition in Cornwall.   I wanted to try to capture a feeling of fragility and the passing of time.  The fletting and often apparently timeless nature of childhood when it's possible to play on the beach without a care.  The Gum arabic process and the ochres help this.
