Matt Deslauriers – Generative printmaking and systems of colour

Generative artist Matt DesLauriers and printmaker Tom Murphy meet after hours at Make-Ready to reflect on the creation of Sierra. The collaboration forges a harmonious relationship between silkscreening and generative art.

It’s this idea of process and craft – working through a set of systems, a set of instructions to get to a final output that I’m really interested in with my Generative systems. That is something that also draws me into this world of screen printing. Once I start to go down this path of learning about screen printing, I go back to my code, and my code ends up being kind of changed, shifted and inspired by the print processes.
