About This Print
A unique 1/1 collagraph print made from close looking — noticing dark, textural trunks, the tangle of branches, light caught and lost between them.
 
My collagraph process builds the plate in layers; earth pigments and printing ink are then pressed into the paper under the weight of my etching press, leaving a surface that holds both the deliberate mark and the accidental one.
 
Inspiration
Winter trees are the ones I come back to for inspiration here. Without leaves, a tree shows you everything — the decisions it has made, the way it has grown, the places where it has split and kept going.
 
This print began there, in that stripped-back  woodland geometry.
 
Earth pigments have their own relationship with winter: ochre, umber, the dark of bare soil. The palette for these arrived naturally.
