About this artwork
One of the very last pieces produced in the China studio, I had fun making this as it was a nice exercise in process. From the initial idea, to researching the historical typography used within eye test charts, and finally to creating in production as clean a contrast as possible to match closely the look and feel of a true test chart. Experimenting again with base I created a heavy, ultra smooth canvas on which to print the letters. I then added…
a feint secondary translucent layer to create a discreet shadow, optically lifting the text ever so slightly from the off-white base.
