A Risograph Printed A3 Print of lemons in a net bag. Vibrant and a perfect celebration of finding beauty in the every day. The artwork is taken from an original print. Risograph printed by Earthbound Press, London on matt 300gsm FSC approved card stock and supplied with a board back and kept clean in a cello wrap. What is risograph printing? Risograph printing is a playful, tactile and cost effective printing process. It looks like a photocopier, but works as a screenprinter; using bold spot colours and stencils to create tactile and vibrant prints, affordably and with little impact to our environment.With its warm palette and unique range of colours, from nostalgic to zingy, riso is ideally suited for prints, books and artwork. I love how I can put an image through the process and it completely changes the look. About the artist: Megan Fatharly was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the coast. She graduated in 2018 with a BA in Drawing from Falmouth University and found solace in the printmaking process. Megan utilizes traditional techniques and manipulates different surfaces to play with texture and layering. She plays around with various ways of bringing fragments together and this includes collage and drawing. Scale is an important aspect of her work, with many of her pieces measuring just 2cm in size. Delicate linework and subtle, intricate layers come together to form individual narratives which allow the everyday to be explored. She is inspired by the mundane intricacies of interiors, hidden spaces and elevating forgotten memories. Collages are created using gouache and hand made papers. She utilizes processes like embossing and experiments with new ways of creating a narrative through the manipulation of surface.
