Publication: A vast Risographed volume of graphic patterns from Sigrid Calon

Date
24 September 2013

Inspired by the stitched patterns of embroidery, Sigrid Calon has created To The Extend Of / \ | & - a volume of 120 unique designs all based on the horizontals and diagonals of a piece of aida cloth. Using set of simple rules – lines can be repeated or combined to form a longer line, lines may be displayed with or without an outline, lines can be used both as a shape and form as rest, lines and residual shapes can be placed over each other as layers – she then introduces eight colours and complex gradients available in Risography to add depth and volume to these extraordinary grids.
