Marianna Maslova, “Three months of summer”, 2021 etching 39 × 31 cm
The Momordica print is best decorated in a frame, passe-partout and glass. The size of the print is 38x31 cm, the size of the paper is 52x38 cm.
The print is created in the technique of modular etching, ie from one zinc base I made four prints on one paper.
Tough watercolor paper with a light texture.
I first saw this amazing plant Momordica in a seed store and decided to grow it in Kyiv. This is a very interesting fruit that looks like a little dragon. Momordica tastes like a pumpkin, because it is from the pumpkin family.
Observing the slow growth of plants is very inspiring. Especially when you grow plants yourself. I decided to make an etching that can be printed as a repeating ornament: the composition is created so that I can print from any side and all the details will be continued.
Since the work is 52x38 cm, I send it in a tube.
