Kolaj Magazine asked Los Angeles Printmaking Society President Karen Fiorito about the similarities between collage and printmaking. She wrote:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printmaking is similar to collage in that both techniques involve assembling different elements to create a new image by combining various pieces, often from disparate sources, to form a cohesive whole, with the key difference being that in printmaking, the elements are transferred onto a surface using a printing matrix, while in collage, elements are physically glued together on a base material like paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(However, there are times when printmakers…employ chine coll\u00e9<\/em>, a special printmaking technique in which paper of a different color or texture is adhered to the overall piece. The overall effect is that the paper is actually bonded, not just glued, to the print. It can, at times, look like it is embossed. Chine coll\u00e9<\/em> roughly translates from French as \u201cchine\u201d= tissue, and \u201ccoll\u00e9\u201d = glue or paste.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layering of the printmaking process and the production of multiples from a single matrix is the foundation of printmaking. The multiple layers in these works depict the multiple meanings in which we celebrate beautiful and complex meanings of our reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
