HELICOPTER VISION is the title for one of my original double-sided "impression folders", and this multimedia GIF with music shows consecutively inked "impressions" or "prints" made by pressing this double-sided folder producing 3D art that presses out of (or into) the paper...
I created the artwork below for THE HAND: The Magazine for Reproduction Based Art. It appears in edition 49 (July 2025). This artwork incorporates into it a scanable QR-Code which allows the readers of the magazine immediate access to this multimedia representation on their smartphones. This was Adam Finkelston's idea who offered me the chance to present my work which involved in a dynamic way printmaking practice as much as the products it produces.
Below you can view a miniaturized version of the artwork that you could possibly have scanned to reach the multimedia art which was intended to give you an alternative insight into the double-sided printing I make with my flexible and rigid "3D Paper Impression Folders".
COMMENTARY
You will observe that there is a hand that appears to be eternally turning the page over to reveal another artwork? The reason for this is that all of this art is double-sided: these artworks are printed by placing the paper in a double-sided "folder" which allows you to print in a unique fashion to both sides of the paper; the ink actually spreading up the furrows and valleys depending on how hard the two plates are pressed into one another. This also helps to explain why each and every "impression" (or "depression") is so very different.
You will also observe while watching the seamlessly repeating GIF that the images appear to transform into one another; the gulleys suddenly transform into valleys as they push upwards or downwards. In order to this I had to flip the directions of the "depressed" pages to match the "impressed" ones.
Depressed is the term I used for the back side of the artworks (comparale to "debossed" from the language of embossing).
