"Landscape of Imagination"

Collagraph monoprint, 11 x 15". I made this print in April 2010, using this plate for the first time. I experimented with the initial inking of the plate as well as with the composition of the print as a whole. As I worked on these prints, I was faced with numerous decisions. I especially needed to decide what to do for the next step, or whether to do nothing. In this case, I was tempted to add more to this print but decided that I liked the image as it is. I worked quite a bit with leaving voids on the paper, and this white "void" taking up the bottom half of the print worked for me. It gave me the impression of a hill, perhaps (but not necessarily) snow-covered. I see many things in this image, and I leave you to see what you will. Allow your experiences and imagination to do their thing.
