About Parchment Series XXXlV

This contemporary embossed white mono print was inspired by nature.

Susan Collett is a masterful printmaker and an award-winning ceramic artist whose work is collected internationally.
This elegant and unique white print on hand-made Japanese washi paper appears to capture the delicate details of a tree branch. Collett’s work is influenced by her love of natural form, its textures and colours. By embossing the image, the print has visible texture and a sculptural effect is created. She favours the monoprint process which allows for only one image to be produced. Most printmaking allows the artist to make multiple images of an original. Edition 1 of 1 Framed.

“Working with clay influences the printmaking, encouraging a sculptural approach. The plates composed of stitched and reconstructed industrial roofing copper give a second reading of strength and organic tracings embossed into the paper, reaffirming perceptions of fragility and transience.” Susan Collett
