More on Moire.

Tauba Auerbach prints, “Mesh/Moiré I-VI”, 2012

A lot of Auerbach’s art is about the tension between an almost total control over what goes into a process and an absence of control about the result that emerges from that process. She explores her system and process thoroughly, with thought and experimentation, and then when she’s ready, she lets go.

Auerbach created these prints by testing a variety of plastic meshes in which she has inked up and before running them through the press directing onto the paper. I am interested in her arrival of contrasting colours such as the orange and blue print shown in the photo above. Even though she selected contrasting colours, her prints combines the two to make something quite neutral. Naturally, with printmaking she works in developing her layers. The pattern is generated by the way they interact with each other. Similarly, I am currently creating work that deals with the way layers interact with one another. More on that on another post!
