Collagraphs


Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which you create your own plate made from any materials.  The plate is then inked up in a similar way to other printing techniques.

Cabinet of Found Objects

I made this cabinet and filled it with selected objects found over a period of 3 months.

Found Objects

The process - find an object, draw and make a poster of it, and then place this poster on the floor or wall where it was found.  The posters were then left in situ and photographed every day until they disappeared.
