Artwork description:

Three mediterranean women on the beach.

Each collagraph plate is made up of mountboard, tape, glue and sometimes carborundum. I then scratch and cut away pieces of the mountboard until I have the image I want. I mix up ink for each printing session then ink up each plate by hand with sticky ink. The plate is then put onto a printing press and pulled through with dampened paper on top. This whole inking up process has to be repeated for each print thereafter which is why prints can vary a little in colour making each print unique and original which I feel is all part of their charm. This print is made from a combination of collagraph and dry point printing and gouache paint.
They are limited edition prints. Signed and numbered in pencil. unframed and unmounted.
