CMY(K), 2024
woven paper, glass beads, nylon
CMY(K) explores the collaboration between machine precision and handmade construction. Each work begins with GF Smith Colorplan paper digitally printed with a transparent gradient of cyan, magenta, or yellow, the three primary colors of subtractive process printing. The paper is then cut into strips and reassembled through a plain weave, allowing printed color and paper color to intersect across a shifting grid.
The series relies on pure process color as a controlled variable. New colors emerge through overlap and optical mixing, placing the final image partly in the eye of the viewer. Inspired by the perceptual strategies of 1960s Op Art, the works change with distance and angle. Areas that initially appear stable dissolve into layered fields of color and movement.
Japanese glass seed beads are embroidered through the paper to secure the woven structure. Their color shifts in relation to the surrounding field, complicating the distinction between material color, printed color, and perceived color. The open square formed by the embroidery functions as a viewfinder, revealing the original woven surface beneath.
Through digital printing and techniques in textile fabrication / ornament, CMY(K) brings traditional hand processes into conversation with digital tools. The works invite sustained looking, revealing color as unstable and relative.
Exhibited at the 2024 Atlanta Art Fair for SCAD Art Sales.
