Collagraph purchase award for Free Library of Philadelphia





This piece was purchased for the permenent collection by The Philadelphia Center for the Book.  I am really honored, and it is a first for me in a permenent public collection.  It was one of the pieces I had at Book, Paper, Scissors event held each November at the library.  The Print and Picture collection is on the second floor of the Free Library of Philadelphia.  http://www.friendsofpix.org/1.html
Above is the plate used to make the Peaches collograph as well as 6 others that are similar.
The plates from this type of print making often become works of art in their own right and become more beautiful the more the are used.
