Unique mixed media work created from a Master plate for collagraph printmaking, featuring a bold and modern geometric kimono shape in green, white, and black, by Patricia A. Pearce (American, b. 1948). Layers of the kimono peel back, like the pages of a book, achieved by Pearce with a minimalist approach to perspective that evokes the aesthetic of Op-Art. This piece is textured, as it was originally created for use in making collagraph prints. Unsigned, from a collection of the artist's works. Unframed. Included is the sleeve that it was stored in.

Collotype: a process for making high-quality prints from a sheet of light-sensitive gelatin exposed photographically to the image without using a screen.
