“There are two different series: one in color and the other in black and white. For the color, I’m producing machine-assisted paintings using different plotters – one usually used for drawing with a pen and the other for wood engraving – which I’ve adapted to dip and paint with a brush, so all the paint gestures are mechanically produced. I use quite a square brush and then I layer over the results with a vertical inkjet printer.

The second strand of production uses a handheld printer gun that is designed to apply inkjet prints as labels onto boxes. I started us- ing it because I liked the gestural requirement to “drag” the printer across the surface to produce the image. Gesture is absent in most digital printing, but with this device it’s sort of unavoidable. There is also something about the device that rhymes with Étienne-Jules Marey’s chronophotographic gun, a photographic motion capture device from the 19th century that produced technical imagery that Futurism was in dialogue with.”
