Nice! I’ve always really liked the “Knitting” poster, and it’s interesting to see it without the text.. I like it both ways, I’d purchase both versions.

Ah yes, the clips and nails were genius. Very cool.

So I realized after I got there that I don’t even know what your face looks like, just your work. Haha. I’m kicking myself now cause I’m pretty sure you were sitting down eating sushi while me and my buddies were checking out Sean’s flashy terminator head… haha.

Hopefully I can find a way to afford a ticket in April. Damn I hate student budgets!

Anyways, great stuff!

congrats on the exhibit

wanted to add a bit about the magnets, if you don’t have enough holding power just buy bigger power magnets (not necessarily bigger magnets).

also, for paper i’ve seen flat bar-like magnets hold best since they have a large surface area. and some people tend to just file off the chrome or nickel plating the magnets have on them to make them a bit more grippy.

Christopher-
thanks, your comment reminded me that I left out the part about foamcore. there is a strip clipped behind the top and bottom edges to combat the curling you’re talking about.

I’ll be honest, when you initially said you were going to hang the posters on clips I cringed a little bit. In my experience, nothing ruins a beautiful poster quite like clipping it up.

That impression of mine is a result of people that do it haphazardly, though. Your attention to detail really makes it successful. There is no curling at the edge of the pieces and the “elevated” feeling really created a nice depth that is normally reserved for great frames.

Well done!

That technique really makes the artwork stand out from the wall without interruptning anything. Really nice – also to be able to follow the research surrounding it.

I bet it was an incredible experience to be able to watch the textures way up close. I must say that the Knitting poster is best acompanied by type, but that just viewing it from the photo here in my browser, which obviously doesn’t come close to looking at the actual physical poster.
