MADA LEACH "Beach Talk" Rare 3D Embossed Collagraph This vintage Mada Leach Collagraph is a uniquely fascinating, yet tranquil piece. Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which materials are applied to a rigid substrate (such as cardboard, paperboard, wood or metal). The word is derived from the Greek word koll or kolla, meaning glue, and graph, meaning the activity of drawing. Collagraph prints are beautiful in the amount of fine detail they can communicate. Different tonal effects and vibrant colors can be achieved with the technique due to the depth of relief and differential inking that results from the collagraph plate’s highly textured surface.
