A printed collage is one way to describe this fascinating technique. Using paper, fabric, grit (sand or carborundum), string, gesso and other mediums, you can make representational or abstract images in color and black and white. Printed like an etching with the ink pushed into the texture, or like a relief with the ink rolled on, wonderful qualities of the printmaker's and the painter's aesthetic come to life.
