This is a high quality Giclée print of my original mixed media photomontage. I've included a photo of the print framed for reference only, the frame is not included in this listing.
 
I spent the best part of 10 years living in Brighton and the beautiful old ruins of the West Pier will always hold a piece of my heart. I made the original photomontage in 2010 when there was much more of it to see. Having watched it slowly washing away and being claimed by the sea over the years, I'm glad I have so many photos of it at it's different stages of life. 
 
Printed using 11 ultra wide gamut inks on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching. This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges. Archival life, 80 years.
 
Now based in Cardigan Bay, I find new inspiration and materials on my regular beach combing walks along the Ceredigian Coast Path where I live. I combine the natural gems I find with a variety of old papers, sheet music and mixed media to give new life to my little 3d coastal creations so I hope you'll take a peek at my Welsh creations too.
