While in residence at the AGAlab Amsterdam, I developed and exhibited “Fold and Gather”, a series of large scale silkscreened and laser-cut posters, further developing aesthetic and conceptual directions established with the “Energy Collector” project. Exploring intersections between painting and graphic design, I have recently been exploring the subject of DIY solar energy technology in order to investigate aspects of painting and design as they relate to one another, such as the ameliorative potential vs. romantic projection embodied in both traditions, and the negotiation between public vs. private modes of distribution.
In addition to using standard inks, I experimented with layers of photosensitive, colour changing ink, further implying the possibility of solar energy collection. The posters also include pop-out schematic designs that fold into a 3D object/technologies. This project follows my interest in a broader dissemination that print enables, as well as ideas around portability and D-I-Y agency through assembly of imagined technologies.
