Imprint Casts - Framed Miniature Botanical Intaglio Collection I
This collection of miniature botanical casts was inspired Katy’s Art History background and her love of Grand Tour intaglios amassed by travellers during their voyage around Europe in the 18th century. The modern botanical interpretation has been created by artist Katy Eccles using a selection of seasonal flowers consisting of a single sunflower head, listhianthus, snowdrops and crocosmia. Each flower head has been carefully rolled into clay and then gently removed to leave behind a delicate botanical indentation. A special blend of plaster is then poured over the clay to preserve the botanical indentation and give it a permanent form. Katy uses a variety of miniature frames and moulds to create an array of shapes for these miniature casts. The background of each botanical intaglio has been hand-painted in a mixture of hand blended pink paints and framed in a complementary Farrow & Ball Dead Salmon box frame.
