This risograph print by Clare Lyons accompanies her book of the same name, which explores visualisation of anxiety, documenting unsettling visuals in everyday locations. Clare’s book uses a four colour risograph printing method to replicate the colour spectrum of process printing, with a distinctive textural quality of soy-based risograph inks. This book and the accompanying print have been published by Damn Fine Press for HALFTONE’s book fair, Tsundoku.
Damn Fine Press is the newly launched publishing arm of open access screen printing studio Damn Fine Print, based in Stoneybatter, Dublin. Damn Fine Press looks to showcase the unique work that can be conceived at the intersection of artistic practice and printmaking, while maintaining the studio’s core principles of accessibility and visibility within Dublin’s art and design landscape.
