LARGE FORMAT HARMONOGRAPH
By Damon Roberts
These are a couple of large format abstracts that i produced by hand using the silkscreen process. These preces were printed in four separate sections that blended together using a spinning platten i created for the printing press.
These are incredibly detailed works. The linear abstract was generated from digital harmonograph simulator. Harmonograph patterns often feature on bank notes as a security measure as they are difficult to reproduce.
Two variations in this series were produced. One in black with a light gray surface print that almost looked like an x-ray. The inverted version was printed directly onto a flood of varnish on a dutch grayboard substrate.
The inks on this lighter inverted version were a mixture of metalic silver and dark gray acrylics which when dried took on the appearance of graphite pencil. It had a slight shimmer effect when direct light hit the surface.
Both versions are now sold out.
