Had a lot of fun in the last few days making Collagraph plates to take back to the studio. The best days have been when I have stayed out all day, really feeling the landscape, being in it. The ‘mobile studio’ is ok (well, apart from the fact that my 50+ year old knees don’t like it!), but I much prefer being outside - I seem to move and make different marks. These are all made on the beach, responding to the tide coming in, working with the splashes and using the sea to contribute to the marks. I’ll see how they print. Some of the marks are, I think, too slight and will not print very well but I can hope, and add to them back in the studio.
