40/40 is a suite of prints created in 2013 celebrating Glasgow Print Studio's 40 years in existence. 40 artists associated with Glasgow Print Studio were invited to make editions of 40 prints in whatever print medium they chose.

The traditional subject of a hunting scene is given a contemporary update by its setting in the Necropolis, Glasgow’s large Victorian cemetery. The artist describes the print as a nocturne (night scene), based on a story about local men hunting the deer that live in the cemetery. The image was made by painting on an acetate film, using the same technique applied in monoprinting. It was printed as a photo-etching, allowing an edition to be made. This was the first time this process has been used by the artist. The painterly marks which can be made through monoprinting provide a haunting, cinematic quality.
Ken Currie was invited to make etchings at Glasgow Print Studio in 1991, his first experience with the medium. It led to a series of 27 prints and his exhibition, The Age of Uncertainty, in 1992.
