For Project 2, I was particularly interested in Truchet Tiles. I layered two different codes – one that was a Truchet Tile and the other code created random circles on a sketch. I saved both of those frames from p5 and brought them into photoshop and layered them on top of each other and added an Exclusion blend mode.

When creating the prints I wanted to create a moldy decaying look so I went with black and white for the truchet tiles. The first layer I printed in blue and yellow so when the black layer was put over it the negative space created a weird blend of the two.

Unfortunately, I forgot to scan my prints but they were up in the winter show!

We made a zine that encapsulates our childhoods. Growing up in different countries, we draw similarities in our upbringings and childhood experiences through imagery of cherished childhood objects, nostalgic websites, baby and family photos. We also drew similarities with humor and comparisons of childhood innocence to teenage debauchery.

This zine is a treasure to our inner child that we cherish and protect <3

Project 1: Animation

For this project, I created an animation from a graphic gif my friend, Stefan, made in photoshop. In their personal process, they create each frame graphically and print them out with a regular printer and scan them to create an animation. I was inspired to translate their work into a riso animation using a similar process, but with a different type of printer and paper. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I hope they like it too.

Below is a screenshot of the frame from the original photoshop file. The other images are the scans of my riso contact sheets where I tried different color iterations of the same animation.
