Printmaking: Collograph

For the print Home Work I used a bottle of PVA glue like a pencil, creating raised lines that leave an imprint on paper that is run through a printing press (embossing). These lines, inked up, also print and define areas of colour application. The resulting shapes can be interpreted as a domestic scene - window washing doesn't seem too far fetched...
