Exploring Collagrphs

Photogprapher collagraph

Well, I am officially addicted to the collagraphs! My guess, it is the spontaneity of creating them and the painterly quality is what I find so appealing to me.
Here are the images of the new ones.

Collagraphs

This is a new medium for me. The plate is created with cardboard and collage of paper, glue, acrylic materials, cutouts and such. After the plate is sealed the ink is smeared and then taken off with tarlatan. There is always an element of surprise as to how the image will print and it is nearly impossible (at least for me) to create an identical print. :)

These drawing are based on the bubble prints I made. It's a perfect inspiration to play around with imagination! I recommend it :)
