RISO PATTERNS EXPERIMENT

A fun experiment with different patterns combined with one another. I printed four 'official' prints, each with three riso layers. Because I think the best patterns are the ones that are super unexpected, I printed on square paper and printed all riso layers randomly on top of one another. I had 12 layers to combine with one another, 12x12 types of patterns I could create (not counting me turning around the paper & trying different colors!). These are the ones I really liked and enjoyed. I really think working in this experimental way is a good way to create something unique and original, and letting happy mistakes creep into my work. It's also very important to me to keep that imperfect 'handmade' touch!
