Spotted Handfish - Open Edition Prints
The spotted handfish is endemic to Hobart, Tasmania and is found in the murky waters of the Derwent Estuary. The spotted handfish is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List 2020, with an estimated remaining population of 3000 individuals. The spotted handfish is an unusual fish, in that it has highly adapted pectoral fins, which appear like hands (hence the name) and allow it to walk on the sea floor.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on black cotton rag paper (2021). The original image of the handfish was captured by Tasha Waller at Battery Point in the Derwent Estuary, Tasmania (2021).
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag paper or canvas with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.
The surface of the printed cotton rag paper is delicate and needs to be handled with care. It is recommended the prints are delivered to a professional framer. To avoid reflections from the glass, it is highly recommended AR70 non-reflective glass is used.
Prints are printed on demand, please allow 10-15 days for prints to arrive within Australia. A4 and A3 prints will be posted flat in a rigid mailer, A2 prints will be rolled into a mail tube.
Free postage within Australia, international postage will be calculated at the checkout.
