I make my collagraph’s using card, paper, fabric, tapes and whatever else is lying around on my desk. Cutting into the card and adding layers to the surface to create an image – once sealed with varnish I ink up the plate in the intaglio way – rubbing ink into the surface of the plate and then buffing it off, printing on a press with immense pressure to pull the ink off the plate onto damp paper. Each plate won’t last very long, so editions of each image are small and precious. I often combine drypoint plates with collagraph plates to bring a drawn layer to the artwork. |
