“Boy & Bird” Drypoint Intaglio This is my rendition of an amazing sculpture by Jason Turpin called ‘The Boy and the Bird”. It celebrates the local kestrels, the story Kes and local skateboarders who share and enjoy the open spaces in Sheffield. It can be found halfway up Rutland Road surrounded by apple trees. This print is created by etching the design into a substrate plate. Ink is then pushed into the etched grooves, the surface of the plate wiped clean so it is ready to lift a print off onto damp paper and voila! It is printed. As usual, each print lifted is independently inked and wiped each finished version will have natural differences as it is a hands on process. Printed using Cranfield etching inks.
