Early in 2015, we travelled around Myanmar – inspired by the weaving patterns, textures of gold, glowing cheeks, trinkets and dusty trails we created this print.
Like many of our prints, we reflect on a moment in time, an adventure and shared experience.
Printed at AGA in Amsterdam.
At the years conclusion we created a folded memento tracing the adventures and key intersections of our printing travels. The reverse side is a toast to the new year ahead.
Printed at our new studio in Brunswick.
The Snake was inspired by our travels in Asia (Singapore, Vietnam and China) early in 2013 during Chinese New Year festivities. Slithering snakes, mandarin oranges and good luck pineapples galore!
We had the immense pleasure of working together with Harmen Liemburg to produce this print at Kees Maas Zeefdruk in Amsterdam.
Fountain Fountain is a play on words, an investigation into form (the fountain as a monument) and colour (the split-fountain technique).
In a series of silkscreen prints, Design & Other deconstruct the wondrous elements of the fountain and reinterpret them as solid and liquid forms. Each print represents a new tier, gradients collide and ripple across the page, cascading upwards to the final spray.
Fountain Fountain was completed during D&O’s residency at Kapitaal, Utrecht (Netherlands). As part of their travels throughout Europe they are focused on undertaking projects to further understand the medium of silkscreen printing.
Split-fountain and colour development work conducted for our Fountain Fountain project during our residency at Kapitaal, Utrecht (Netherlands).
During our stay in Hamburg, Germany in April 2013 we spent time at Frappanter Druck developing new silkscreen prints, finishing with a two-print series ‘Rocce e Fiori’ (Rocks and Flowers).
The prints are 11 and 15 colours respectively – some serious chopstick colour mixing was required!
A thank-you to our friends in Hamburg, Germany for the many great times.
In Giro is a collection of seven limited edition silkscreen prints.
Created during our residency at Amsterdams Grafisch Atelier (AGA) in the Dutch capital during late 2011, the bold, vibrantly coloured works trace a 17-month period of travel through Asia and Europe.
Whether capturing the spectacle of the aurora borealis in Reykjavik or uncanniness of wandering carpet-lined streets in Istanbul, each of these works draw on two distinctly personal recollections of place and experience, engaging in notions of the keepsake or souvenir and exploring how memory can be articulated via creative process.
