This lobster was caught in a pot by a local fisherman here in North Wales. It was caught in the Menai Strait. The lobster is such a great subject for a coastal artist like myself. Working with local marine species is always my preferred way of working. Lobster are a challenge to print as they are so 3 dimensional. Its very tricky printing the legs and their antenna. This lobster is printed on Chinese mulberry paper measuring 69.5x34cm. Printing is just the first part of the process. After printing, the paper is cockled and wouldn’t lay flat in a frame. To achieve a flat print I use the traditional wet mounting process that has been used in the east for centuries. This process takes 24hours. The name for this process is Uruachi. When it is flattened, I sign the print and stamp it with my Hanko.
