Collection: Marian Haf : Printmaker : Ceredigion

Collagraphs have become a firm favorite of mine as I feel a quality akin to charcoal drawing in it, a tactility, a freedom in the mark-making. I work by tearing at the layers which result in beautiful tonal depths, punctuate with sharp lines and staccato dots. I’m increasingly blind embossing my paper with woodcuts before printing adding a subtle second narrative to the work caught on a second glance or closer inspection asking the viewer to come in closer.
My work which can be varied in subject matter often have a common narrative of nostalgia and melancholy.
