Colour Blind Tests: Pseudo-Isochromatic Plates

PSEUDO-ISOCHROMATIC PLATES: SIGNED LIMITED EDITIONS

Inspired by our limitations and our abilities to overcome their challenges once identified, these limited edition prints pays homage to Ishihara's Tests for Colour Deficiency: 1st designed by Shinobu Ishihara, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who first published his tests in 1917.

Painstakingly digitally rendered, these limited edition Glicée prints have been designed to recreate the colour vision tests called Pseudo-Isochromatic Plates ("PIP"). Colours have been matched as close to the original as possible and viewers challenged with colour deficiency may not be able to read or trace the imagery hidden within the tinted dot patterns.

Medium: UV Stable Glicée printed on Acid Free Hot Press Paper (float Mounted)
Signed Editions: 12 of Each Type Only
Framed: $5000 USD

This limited edition print has been produced with best archival practices using acid free papers, adhesives and framing procedures. The inks used in the printing process are considered archival and the plexiglass used in framing is also UV blocking to prevent pigment breakdown.

Guilty Conscience

the 1739 Edition: historic Vs. contemporary art

Traditional or Modern?
Politically Correct or Incorrect?
Respectful or Irreverant?

Original Intaglio Copperplate Etchings produced in 1739 by Rigaud et Baron (French Printers to the Aristocracy) were used in the production of this rare limited edition.

Images portray scenes of 18th Century Aristocratic Country life 50 years before the French Revolution.

In contrast to the 283 year old prints, modern semi-transparent typography overlays each scene printed with ultraviolet-cured inkjet print technology.

Does the copy reveal the hidden bias’ of the uber-wealthy and the upper-middle class? Do we nod and secretly subscribe to the politically incorrect gloating narrative that is held in 21st-century expression?

Medium: UV Cured Inkjet on Original Historic Intaglio Prints
Original Art: 15 Pieces (each copperplate print is different)

Through the 1960s to mid ‘80’s, the Rorschach (aka Ink Blot) Tests were one of the most widely used projective psychological protocols in which subjects' perceptions of ink blots were recorded and then analyzed for profiling.

Hermetically sealed under layers of Encaustic Wax to slow the oxcidation process and seal the artwork, these Blot Tests have been produced using high-quality India ink and the artists own drawn human blood.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Archival Open Shadow Box
Oiled Ash w/ Walnut Splined Frames: 22” x 16” x 2.5”
Medium: Encaustic bees wax, India Ink + Human Blood
Original Art: 4 Pieces (each print is different)
Framed: $2000 USD ea
Set of 4: $7,500 USD

Unframed: Inquire

Endeavour

ENDEAVOURProject Intent:

Under the traumas, challenges and triumphs of our personal histories, how far are we able to project ourselves towards our goals, our possibilities, and our dreams?

The Endeavour series seeks to invite personal consideration of the viewer through the composition of identifiable objects used in sports and pass time. Dialog and narrative are invited when juxtaposed with the icon of trauma and healing.

In this sculptural series, several iconic objects, have been enveloped in the ubiquitous wound dressing Band-Aid.

Once fully collaged with BandAids. Several coatings of Encaustic Wax (Natural Bees Wax and Dammar Varnish) hermetically seal each piece adding additional protection to the dressings from handling and environmental harm.
