Riso machine digital graphics

The geometric shapes in Caviezel's Andeer carpet (2016) inspired two works in her 2023-24 retrospective at Museum für Gestaltung: Carpet Carrelage and Confederatio Risografie.

Caviezel borrowed Andeer's shapes and separated their colours. She printed the shapes A4-size using a Riso machine - a Japanese digital duplicator that forces plant-based ink through a stencil one colour at a time to produce a textured print. Each Risograph is unique with a handmade look caused by smudges, incomplete ink coverage or overprint anomalies when adding a new colour layer. Caviezel scanned her Risographs into her computer and altered them layer-by-layer in Photoshop to create large-scale works for the exhibition. The idiosyncrasies of Risographs are what make them desirable. Confederatio Risografie returns full-circle to Andeer and Caviezel's instructions to the rug weavers to make intentional colour “mistakes”.
