Following my first week’s experimentations, I decided to move my inquiry forward by using my imperfect tool – the Risograph – to create a perfect copy of my Not Just A Seat photograph, keeping in mind its textured and layered qualities. I realised that Riso’s limitations encouraged more creativity. Instead of getting frustrated with its imperfections, I decided to embrace its unpredictability and focus on how the textures and vibrancy of the colours added more depth to my work and made it more engaging.
I experimented with various colourways and changed the order in which they would be layered. Each print was slightly different from the one before and had a unique character and colouration. Eventually, I achieved an outcome close to what I was hoping for. This iterative process resulted in a genuine representation of my subject, not identical in the visual form but rather its feel.
