"Pleated Shell" is a handmade stone lithograph, printed by hand on acid free Arches printmaking paper made in France. The original image was inspired by a seashell with an interesting rippled and pleated surface, suggesting the movement of the ocean.
Drawn on Bavarian limestone, the image was then etched and printed with black lithograph ink on cream colored paper. Limited edition of 10 prints. Once the edition was completed, the stone was ground with carborundum and water until the image was completely erased.
Size of image: 18"L x 14"H including borders.
Artist: Pamela Doell, created in 1981.
