'Homage' is a series of small postcard size prints (approx 7" x 5")
At one time the harbour at Kirkcaldy in Fife was a thriving port with trade routes to the Baltic and Scandinavian countries.
After some research the artist collected names of some of the ships which had once sailed into the harbour. Fantastic names
such as 'The Earl Percy', 'The Charming Nelly', 'Adam Smith' and 'Maud'. The artist then went down to Kirkcaldy beach and
wrote some of the names in the sand and then took photographs of these names and created screenprints.
Each screenprint is unique and may differ in colour slightly.
Price:
£20 each including postage and packaging.

Giclee (pronounced 'zgee-KLAY') is a method of reproducing art through a printing process very similar to modern ink-jet
printers. It has become a very popular method of creating limited edition fine art reproductions. The term derives from the
French verb gicler, which means 'to squirt
Giglee prints can be printed on a number of different media -- watercolours can be reproduced on watercolour paper, for
instance, and can be so colour-true that they are virtually indistinguishable from the original. Oil paintings can be reproduced
on canvas. Because there is no 'plate' as in standard printing processes, the artwork can be scaled up or down in size, limited
only by the physical limitations of the giclee printing machinery.
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink blocking stencil. The attached stencil
forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the
screen stencil forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
