The technique is chine-collé: thin metallic and decorative papers are bonded to a grainy cotton backing before the impression is taken, so that the final print carries within it a subtle topography, a surface that rewards close looking. The sepia palette gives the work the feeling of something retrieved from time — warm, amber, enduring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the printed surface, Smith has added his own hand in gold metallic polymer, drawing directly into the image. The grove of the title is not merely depicted; it is inhabited by the artist’s mark, the gold threading through the composition like light through leaves. It is a print that is also a drawing, a mechanical process made singular by touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach impression is signed by the artist. Five are available — artist proofs, meaning they were pulled outside the numbered edition, traditionally reserved for the artist’s own collection. To acquire one is to hold something the artist kept for himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe watermark visible in digital images does not appear on the actual print.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntaglio Etching, Sepia with Chine-Collé and Gold Metallic Polymer · 8\" × 8\" · 2004\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigned artist proof.
