A collograph plate has been constructed of found materials and objects from a 1m squared corderned off area. The plate consists of rubber, paint flakes, bark, moss, leaves, eroded metal chips and leaves, wood and paper. It is a composition of shapes and patterns.
A blind emboss has been printed, highlighting the textures and patterns of the objects as they have been removed from their original context and purpose. The reason for doing this is that the formal elements of the materials become more important than the objects themselves. It therefore allows the beauty of the objects to be emphasisd as opposed to being overlooked as discarded items.
It is then intended that inks will be used to highlight areas of the collograph plate, emphasising finer textures and imprints, as the ink falls into the crevices this creating varying tones and shadows.
