XXXX Swatchbook is a book constituted of 4 colors and 291,647 stitches

XXXX Swatchbook is an art work venture by Evelin Kasikov exploring the muse of printing without ink, basically “printing” every of the CMYK colors by stitching them into the book.

This book is about print, but printed and not using a ticket of ink.
It is a ways a private venture that I the truth is had been slowly engaged on past 6 years. This big venture brings collectively my adore for book build and my experimental device to craft.

The book is fabricated from:

4 colours


16 capabilities


400 shade combos


219.647 stitches

In the four shade printing process, the patterns of little overlapping dots create paunchy vary of shade. Here the process is tactile and three-dimensional. My inks are threads in CMYK colours: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Sunless. All capabilities in the book are hand-embroidered: the swatches, the title pages, the grid papers, and binding.

Now she correct desires to recreate a The build’s Waldo book using the identical methodology. Sure, it’ll probably take dangle of her a decade or two, but once this pandemic is over I’d adore so as to be taught a The build’s Waldo book the measurement of a dining table.
