Collective Example & Pushing Limits

For the collaborative work we went to Indianen studio in Antwerpen. Under the super vision of Tim Knapen we got to work with his printing machine. We tried to push it to its limits by working together with different materials and inks. At first we drew out SVG files with a normal fineliner or marker. In the end Manouk made a design out of dots. We wanted to make a dotted picture with a brush pen. To get the ink through this brush without having to refill the tip we put the cord of an IV on it. At the end was a syringe to create pressure. Koen was the one that was the one that put too much pressure. Because of the extra pressure 'blobs' appeared on the paper. At first we had blue indian ink and later we continued with black acrylic mixed with water. Together we created something that even Tim was surprised and enthusiastic about!
