About this print

A stairwell in an office building, photographed straight up from the bottom step so the treads become a column of stripes between two orange walls.

The orange is matched by eye to Adaeze’s paint chip for every print. It is the brightest colour we print and it needs the wide-gamut inks to hold.

Certificate of authenticity

Each print is sent with a certificate of authenticity on cotton card, signed by the artist and by the printer. It repeats the title, the edition number, the size, the paper and the date of printing, and the same number is written in pencil on the back of the print. Keep it with the print: we can replace a lost certificate once, from our edition ledger.
