48 x 48 cm framed original botanical ink specimen
About
The initial sketches for this collection were completed at scale. We tested the layout of the type, the size of the botanical ink specimen, and noticed a little too late that one of the metal letters was damaged.
From these initial trials, we've cut away the test marks, leaving only the botanical abstract made from oak gall ink. The oak galls for the botanical ink were all collected on Dartmoor and made into ink by ourselves.
The piece is professionally framed with conservation-grade mounting and UV-protective glass. Like the landscape it depicts, this work will evolve and change over time. This is part of botanical ink's living character.
This is the second collection in our Wild Colour series, and the first collection to feature large works.
One of fourteen original works in this collection.

Oak gall ink has been used as official record keeping ink for hundreds of years due to its permanence. We anticipate the botanical ink will change over time. Every precaution has been taken to slow this inevitable change, including pretreating the paper, and using UV-protective art glass for the framing. Still, we encourage you to take a photo of the work every year on its anniversary so that you can record its progression over time.
