The universe in halftone

The universe in halftone, Moderate Studio journal, 2015

A big screen print of the universe, made for a group show. I took a deep-space image, all nebula cloud and scattered stars, pulled it apart into halftone dots and printed it back up large on paper, both as a square and as a circle. Close up it is just a grid of coloured dots. Step back and the whole cosmos reassembles out of them.

It is the same halftone approach as the Jimmy Jesus prints, but turned on something with no edges and no argument, just colour and depth. Printing the universe by hand, one dot screen at a time, is a decent way to spend a week, and it hung well in the show, glowing off the wall.
