"Intratext I"

Collography, 2026

A week ago I took a two-week intro to collography. Suspected I would really like this technique and I was right! I really enjoyed the process, and as a beginner to this method I couldn't very well predict the results so I was also enjoying the surprise.

I have been thinking of ways to merge my comics practice with printmaking, so I took the four-panel format from a comic strip I've been working on behind the scenes. The print is a work in its own right, aswell as a page in the strip. The plates could be moved around and replaced, making a new sequence.

Inking and wiping the plates was hard work! Spent something like 4-5 hours just making two prints, but I think my technique improved with the second one so I sped up a bit. I also printed one of the plates as a relief, and really like the result of that too.
