This limited-edition intaglio print of Kimmeridge Folly, Dorset is inspired by the Shell poster of the same name by Paul Nash. Gardiner begins with contour patterns seen from the air captured by LiDAR, an optical remote sensing technology that can measure the change in elevation of the landscape using pulses from a laser. The contour patterns are printed with an etched steel plate. A laser-cut three-dimensional low relief woodblock of a fossil is used to create the impression of a fossil within the print. Colour tones provide a sense of the time of year and texture refers to the rocks in the print.
