Kate Besleme Collection
Tree, Ouroboros, and Taper
Specification: Print. Intaglio. Printed with Charbonnel etching ink on handmade paper from a brass plate etched for printing intaglio on one side and relief on the other (this proof from the intaglio side). This proof was used is similar to the one from the video, "Hannah Prints," and shows the embossed Artiscrip seal. It is unique for including chine colle, the buff-colored paper on white.
Comment: Kate came in the Mini Art Gallery on October 21, 2023 having seen the print in the window, and liked it partly because the tree of life image reminded her of images of human development in she encounters in her midwife practice, art, and printmaking.
