Hoi Is Dutch for Hi!
Poster
Was feeling very home-away-from-home sick upon returning to New York after an incredible trip to Holland. I found myself drawing canal houses all over the place and decided to paint myself a poster. A pattern based on similar subjects with similar line quality in the works.
Pattern x Texture
Experimenting with traditional printmaking techniques. Pattern explorations were created through Intaglio practices, etching into copper plates and then submerging them in acid. While my plates were cooking in the acid bath, I cut out corresponding color-blocked shapes. I inked the plates and ran them through the press to create the black lines, and later ran the prints back through the press with my shapes arranged to complete each piece. All prints developed unique patterns while maintaining the constant, etched design.
