Garden Poetry: The Movable Collographs of Pat Cresson

In this fourth of books on her work Pat Cresson exhibits works in this series. With combined roots in etching, intaglio, relief and stencil printing, the artist has also been incorporating the use of plastic materials and direct non-chemical-mediated methods. Movable collograph pieces are hand drawn and cut out of polystyrene, sometimes incised with an etching needle and rolled up with oil or water based ink with brayers. The printed results are bold, colorful and poetic.
