This is an original signed botanical collagraph by local Philadelphia artist Emily Ennulat-Lustine. A versatile medium, collagraphs use collage techniques to build up a textured “plate,” which is then inked and run through a press with paper, transferring the image and embossing the surface. We’ve archivally presented this piece as a float mount in a silver wood profile from Studio Moulding, Crescent Brands mat, and TruVue 99% UV filtering and shatter resistant “Conservation” acrylic.

“Hugs” is an original signed collagraph by Emily Ennulat-Lustine. She began her career as a painter, until she took a printmaking class at the Abington Art Center—taught by Patricia Shaw Lima—where she was drawn to the collagraph process. This versatile medium uses collage techniques to build up a textured “plate,” which is then inked and run through a press with paper, transferring the image and embossing the surface. We’ve archivally presented this piece in a birdseye maple veneer profile from Larson Juhl, Crescent Brands mat, and TruVue 99% UV filtering and anti reflective “Museum” glass.

Collagraphy is a technique that involves creating a collage of materials on a card base, inking this base, then printing the image onto paper. “Weeds and Things,” by Julie Ann Kring, is an excellent example of this method. We’ve archivally presented the work in a rustic red wood scoop profile from Furst Bros “Botanica” collection, Artique (Larson Juhl) and Crescent Brands matting, and TruVue 99% UV filtering “Conservation” glazing.
