For the second half of the module where we have to produce two (18 editions) prints using two different processes, I have decided to use the RISO printer.
The design for the riso print is closely connected to my degree project. I have scanned my two sides of the installation, combined them and added text saying ,,you and gaze” and ,,gaze and you”. The text indicates the relationship between the viewer and the print. As Jacque Lacan’s theory says, the gaze just exists in the world all around us. The print reminds the viewer to always remember the gaze. Its not visible in the print, but it’s ‘said’ or more specifically mentioned.
The colours decision is based on the visuals of the two sides. Pink side goes alongside the warm toned side. Blue alongside the more cold toned side.
Here is how the final print is supposed to look like. It is just a design created online. Each of the colours is separated now and will be printed out and a picture of the final print will be included later on.

After trying out different paper colours, i have decided to use a grey/brown paper. This is the result.
