I took a short lesson in collagraph printing. I’d seen it around but had no idea what it was. Turns out you make a plate by sticking textured material onto a ground (from colle, French for glue). People get very creative with this but I decided to stay simple. When asked to bring an image along I chose an old brutalism calendar and I used a combination of two images to make this abstract. I cut up and used plastic packaging.
