Taken from The Project Twin's show Bláth, Bláth, Bláth.- Laser-cut Woodblock Prints on Japanese Kawashi Paper- 600mm X 800mm- Edition of 10  About The Show Bláth, Bláth, Bláth presents a series of woodcuts prints, metal  sculptural pieces and a woven tapestry, all centred around the  flower motif, a universal symbol of beauty and nature. Exploring  the interplay between the natural environment and the digital  age, awkward and wonky flower shapes are combined with the  language of emojis, computer graphics and digital iconography,  creating playful sense of anxiety or tension.  The series of prints are made using separate laser-cut wood  pieces which are inked and put back together, almost like a  jigsaw, before printing. These are accompanied by 5 laser-cut  flower sculptures in a stark black, almost like silhouettes or  papercuts. The work explores the combination of digital  aesthetics and analogue production techniques.About the Artists The Project Twins are James and Michael Fitzgerald, a Cork  based collaborative art duo.
