Refrakt - Blue
120 Lines of rich blue ink, full of texture on 320gsm 100% cotton handmade paper. This one was created as an experimental plot for a future fxhash project, and featured in "The Pen Plotter" video, and took a few attempts to get right. This is the first one that finished without the ink drying up.
The interaction between the archival ink on this heavily textured paper makes each plot unique, turning a precise mechanical design into something far more natural and organic, the interplay and balance between the two ends of that spectrum are quite lovely.

Special Instructions
The ink used in this work is archival-ink, light-fast and fade-resistant, the paper is acid-free and also fade-resistant. That said, it's still probably wise to frame it and hang it somewhere out of direct sunlight.
