"Guardian" Giclée Art Print

Guardian

Guardian depicts a misty hand hanging into the frame from above, woven into a backdrop of trees. I have never felt alone while deep in the woods, but that feeling has always been comforting to me, rather than something that I feel that I should fear. The forest is my cathedral and my deity resides within. 

What is Giclée?

Giclée (pronounced gee-clay) is a fine-art printing process that uses digital images, high-end printers and archival inks, to print on superior quality paper or canvas material. The word Giclée literally means "to spray," which refers to the way the printer sprays the ink onto the canvas.

High quality Giclee printing uses many more ink colours, 12, as opposed to the standard 4/CMYK. This allows for vibrant, beautiful colour that lasts. My paper of choice for this project is the Epson Cold Press Bright. It gives the work a textured look and feel while giving me the exact colours I was going for.

*Please note, colours on screen will always look different to the print in person + under different lighting. 

When can I expect to receive this?

I will place a print order in January + a print order at the show's end in February. 

The cool thing about these pieces is they ship directly from the local printer that I work with so it's hard for me to say. I'd say anywhere from 3-5 weeks from now. Depending on the printer's choice, this piece will arrive to you flat OR in a shipping tube. Either way, you're going to want to remove it and lay it flat under some heavy books for a day or two before hanging.
