Collagraph print

It all begins with an idea. Maybe I want to depict the walk I have been to. Making a Collagraph print, there is a set format to follow. From imagining the final print to the planning of how many plates I need. I just lose myself when printing and wiping the plates. I love the smell of ink and its creamy texture: the way it moves. I also love all kinds of paper; thick and thin, and touching the surfaces and the rugged edges. Printmaking is very “hands on”, I build a relationship with my work by touching it. Every wipe makes a mark, and marks fascinate me.
