Whilst looking into textures and surface qualities Kim mentioned a Collagraph and the process intrigued me as the print embosses the paper, almost creating a bas relief sculpture. I find the technique impressive as it provides the means to observe the surface pattern of an object, and takes away the context and reasoning for the object. The added rustic appearance the inks give it, is what I feel makes this process most effective. Where I used cloth I find the most interesting effects, the way the ink briefly picks up only certain textures is what makes this successful; there are more of a range of tonal surfaces, therefore implying vairous texture gradients.
