First pull of Manhattan Bridge collograph (16 x 16" or 40.6 x 40.6cm plate size)

​Today, 1 July 2016 I had my introduction day at The Grafische Werkplaats located at 16 Prinsegracht in The Hague, Netherlands. It was truly a treat to be in a studio again and working with such talented master printer, Jurjen Ravenhorst.  I will be making a new body of collograph prints at The Grafische Werkplaats this July- August 2016. This is an incredible opportunity and I am excited to share the adventure through my blog.

I am pleased with the construction of the first collograph plate (16 x 16").  The image is a close up of the Manhattan Bridge which I travel daily to work on the Upper East side. I enjoyed walking over and photographing this bridge in May in preparation for this print. I have some minor tweaking to do on the open spaces of the plate before it is ready to edition.  This is just the first look at the image.  I am also planning to experiment with adding a transparent color behind the key image.

Looks like an amazing trip and so look forward to seeing more of your work here and when you return. My game has greatly improved and we still need to have that dinner!
Also been thinking about retirement ( not tomorrow) in Amsterdam!
