Collagraph

A technique used in my project, in the commence of the Autumn/Winter section, were collagraphs, as they should roughness and look more textural than the delicacy of natural forms in the Spring and Summer months.

Firstly, I selected a photo that had colours that showed signs of decaying or the Autumn and Winter seasons approaching, therefore I chose this image as it had earthy colours (yellow, green and brown) in it.

My final products of using the collagraph and printing press produced many texturally different pieces that were then ready to develop by adding other materials into them.
