Franzi had been patiently watching Petra and I work. Once the collages were 'finished' and Petra had made her rubbings he asked if he could make his mark on them. This sounded like a good next step to me but I decided it would also help to seal the cut, inkjet printed papers to the paper's surface. So, before I let Franzi have a go, taking a cue from Petra I laid them out on the studio floor, and then using a ratty, stiff bristle brush to add a 'mark' texture, I sealed each collage using acrylic matte medium.
