I was inspired by a few artists, like Monster Riot, to try collagraph printing, where you build up layers to print rather than take them away like in lino printing. I wanted to print the fisherman from my paper cuts, but I wanted to be able to change the colour of each piece, so I made each part separately. I also printed over collaged grounds, which didn't go well because the print was already so complicated that adding a collaged BG was just overpowering. I think these prints could also be changed into vector drawings on illustrator.
I'll probably but some of these in my final exhibition, as long as they fit. If I do this again I will need to paint the surface with thicker PVA and more layers, because after a couple of washes they started falling apart, so I was limited with changing colour.
