NomadicMILK

April 2010 – We make monoprints of all routes we collected in Nigeria! One week of hard labour in a beautiful hall in Deventer results in six fantastic sets of twelve monoprints.
The monoprints can be viewed (and ordered) here.

The Nomadic MILK mono-prints are made via a unique printing procedure: The robot is used to draw the sand tracks over pieces of canvas, in exactly the same way as it was done during the workshops in Nigeria. After the sand drawings are finished, graffiti spray-paint is used to color the background. A couple of hours of drying makes it possible to remove the sand with a soft piece of cloth. This reveals a razor-sharp white image of the tracks where every grain of sand stands out as a white and uniquely placed pixel.
