Collagraph Plate “Tilting at Postboxes” by Judy Townsend
Collagraph Plate “Tilting at Postboxes” by Judy Townsend
A wonderfully characterful collagraph plate titled “Tilting at Postboxes” by Judy Townsend. This is the original collaged printing plate (not a paper print), built up with textured materials and finished as a one of a kind wall piece.
The scene, horse and rider facing a jaunty cluster of red postboxes is a playful take on the Don Quixote story and makes a striking conversation piece.
The reverse retains the artist’s handwritten label with title, medium, and original price notation.
