"Intratext I"

Collography, 2026

A week ago I took a two-week intro to collography. Suspected I would really like this technique and I was right! I really enjoyed the process, and as a beginner to this method I couldn't very well predict the results so I was also enjoying the surprise.

I have been thinking of ways to merge my comics practice with printmaking, so I took the four-panel format from a comic strip I've been working on behind the scenes. The print is a work in its own right, aswell as a page in the strip. The plates could be moved around and replaced, making a new sequence.

Inking and wiping the plates was hard work! Spent something like 4-5 hours just making two prints, but I think my technique improved with the second one so I sped up a bit. I also printed one of the plates as a relief, and really like the result of that too.

Once again I am overwhelmed with all the possibilities and feel that the hours in the day are too short! Somebody get me a huge grant so I can make art 24/7! But also huge thanks to Grafikskolan i Stockholm for the workshop grant that is currently allowing me to work in their fantastic space without limitations.

Intaglio Collagraphs by Peter Keefer.

A Collagraph print is a collage printmaking technique and is a form of Intaglio printing. The collagraph plate is printed in the same way as etchings, but also include the basic principle of relief printing and can be printed either as intaglio or relief. The term ‘Collagraph’ refer to a collage board where the materials are assembled on a flat base or plate (matrix) to form a relief block with different surfaces.
