Collagraph on 245 gm Fabrinano paper.
Jet's intricate collagraph work explores a myriad of textures & line styles. He uses a large variety of materials & methods, often etching the surface, embossing textures, collaging materials, spray painting stencils, focused dotting with nail polish and loose flowing lines made through syringes of paint. Jet's current theme is that of identity, and creating a personalised symbology to show the depth and layered qualities of one’s spirit.
