I AM A TEXT
STUDIO EXPLORATION//2024The transcript from the I AM A TEXT video work was worked up into a multipanel, wax covered Risographic print. This process moved through a series of digital and analogue process, mirroring the hybrid nature Of Risography. The text was redesigned in Illustrator and InDesign and manipulated in Photoshop to compose a 40 pannel, three-colour Riso-print. Once printed, the pannels were scanned and installed virtually into a C4D motion graphic. The physical panels were each hand painted with an encaustic (wax) medium, so that when polished, the letters would buff up to a leathery sheen. Care was taken to apply wax only into the lettering, requiring a complex procedure of specific temperatures, layering and pace. The infinite reorderings of the panels re-transcribe the text into new meanings of variable legibility.
