I attended the riso printing talk that was prepared for us. I was really interested in the process and the difference in working with color. If I was doing a physical space I think I would have explored this path more for my imagery. The technician brought a lot of examples of work with the riso printers. The Riso feeds paper under the ink drum as it rotates, and ink is pushed out through the stencil to create an impression. On our Riso, two colors are printed at a time, and multicolored prints are made by switching out drums, then printing over each layer. The paper passes through the machine multiple times.
I enjoyed a lot of my planning through this process as it helped me feel more prepared for my experimentations. I needed to plan my methods for each biomaterial. When designing the space I found it really helped to draw it out or collage as then I can visualize the outcome and see where to improve. With these, I can annotate the sketch or layout with criticism comments.
