For several years, Wagner has been using her encaustic surfaces as collagraph plates for making monoprints. By employing similar methods of incising the surface found in intaglio printing, the wax surface offers a variety of exploitable textures. Wagner does this by applying water soluable ink to incised lines on a thin birch or plexiglass plate then wiping off the excess that remains on the surface. When run through the press the ink bleeds into the incised lines of the wax surface resulting in a richly textured monoprint.
