Artwork description:

This Collagraph print of a fine yellow moth is made from board which I have cut and textured to give the appearance of a moth.
Once it was finished I coated it in button polish to preserve it then inked it up using Charbonnel Aqua Wash inks by pushing the ink into all the special marks I had made. Then it was wiped and printed using damp 250g Hahnemuhle on my etching press. The high pressure used results in a pleasing slightly embossed effect on and around the shapes and the plate mark is clearly visible. The inking process is repeated each time which is why the prints can vary a little each time.

Materials used:

Charbonnel Aqua Wash inks on 250g Hahnemuhle paper
