Hand-pulled collagraph, blind embossment print on tan Rives BFK 250gsm paper.
Image size: 7" x 7", Paper size: 11" x 14".
Limited edition of 19, 2022. Signed and numbered in pencil.
This piece is part of an abstract series called Hatchlings. Hatchings and cross-hatchings are usually used in drawings/prints as a tool to help render a subject more realistic by helping to indicate value, create shadow, etc. I thought it'd be a fun and interesting exercise to make them the actual "object & subject" the prints (ie. the "stars of the show" for once), hence the series and title "Hatchlings."
The "hatchlings" in the print were cut out and glued onto a 2-ply mat board to make a three-dimensional collagraph plate, then hand-pulled through the press to make the blind embossment.
Alternate colors in white and gray are also available.
Print only, frame not included.
