Wondering how far you can take chine collé in a project? Listen in as Annalise Gratovich tells us all about this method of adding thin pieces of hand-dyed papers to giant woodcuts.
In s3e61 of Platemark, podcast host Ann Shafer continues talking to artists included in Print Austin’s 5x5 exhibition, juried by Myzska Lewis, a curator at Tandem Press. Next up is artist Annalise Gratovich. Annalise works in woodcut primarily (and etching), and is best known for her monumental woodcuts with multiple dyed papers glued down by chine collé.
We take a deep dive into the ins and outs of chine collé, her Ukranian heritage and inherited trauma, cuteness as a means to help viewers access difficult subjects, and her recent battle with a mystery autoimmune disease.
