CHIMERA
Risograph Poster
I was approached to make a limited-edition risograph poster for the release of Chimera, a short documentary about pro skater turned ceramic artist James Alby, which premiered at the Portland Panorama film festival and won best short documentary.
I was given reference photos, which I re-interpreted by printing them out multiple times on the same sheet to saturate the paper with ink so that it showed through the back of the paper, then scanning that in and finally risograph printing the final composition.
These analog transformations of the images created a relationship to the medium of ink and paper that felt connected to the way James talks about his relationship to the medium of clay in the documentary.
