Matches - VrijFormaat

Discription

Matches is a riso print from our series Extra Ordinary, illustrations of day to day objects. Extra Ordinary is a tribute to everyday items. It celebrates the objects we use almost daily without thinking about the often wonderful design or greater concept behind them. The designs are often deceptively simple and we wanted to amplify that by using only 2 colours (red and blue and the mix of these) for the whole series. 

This print is packed in a protective plastic sleeve with an extra cardboard backing card.

info

Joke and Esther are the creative forces behind VrijFormaat. Graphic design is the focus, as it is with their other project, but here they explore all kinds of design and illustration within various techniques. They draw, paint, embroid, sew, print, and work both analog and digital. And since they bought their own risograph, they have been captivated by this inspiring technique.

Risography is a technique where you use a duplicating machine to print colours separately, layer by layer. The result is somewhat reminiscent of screen printing. Risography uses semi-transparent inks based on vegetable oil (soy or rice). Due to the technology, each print is slightly different, which makes each riso print unique.
