Print, Seeing through Circles

This is a Print. It was designed by Kyuha Shim.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Kyuha Shim as part of Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.

It is dated 2015. Its medium is hand-stamped print.

Shim uses systems and rules to generate unusual forms. To create Seeing through Circles (2013), he designed sixty rubber stamps with visual densities that roughly match the brightness or darkness of sixty corresponding pixels. He implemented this system in this series of hand-stamped prints.

It is credited Courtesy of Kyuha Shim.
