Teemu Mäki

One makes faintly visible scratches on the copper plate with one's nose against it, or depending on the technique in some other way that forces one to be physically close to the image and struggle with it, without knowing what the result will look like, or even what the line one is currently drawing will look like. Paradoxically enough, exactly because of this ignorance the maker can absorb him/herself in the work. Therefore s/he is freer when engraving the plate than a draughtsman is at his/her paper or a painter at his/her canvas. Only the proofs will show the printmaker what s/he has done. My favourite aspect of printmaking is the line.

One can attempt to scratch the subject precisely and meticulously onto a plate in spite of the stylus not obeying one’s hand, the needle slipping on the slippery copper and the wooden plate splitting unexpectedly.

Edition of 12. S.L. Dickey. E Repp. Gert & Uwe Tobias. Carnovsky. RGB Color est e pluribus unus RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”.

Carnovsky

RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. Carnovsky's RGB is an ongoing project that experiments with the interaction between printed and light colours. The resulting images are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear.
