[A faint light on green] Graphic art edition

Una luz tenue sobre el verde is a graphic folder unedited (original). It consists of a visual game in which container and content interact, creating a visual ecosystem. The folder, perforated, contains a small hole through which light filters and is reflected on the prints that create the series.

These prints, of various sizes and formats, present different parts of the plants used in this study.between sheets of different laser-engraved papers, we find a circular print of 16 cm in diameter in which the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus were engraved with a photoengraving matrix.in the middle, a photographic image of the Tradescantia fluminensis, on Nepalese handmade paper appears in a light and disembodied way, highlighting the fragility of the paper against the strength of the plant. The two final prints of the piece are two 35 x 50 cm photoengravings with a 12 x 18 cm matrix of photopolymer from optical microscope images of Arundo donax fibers, thus highlighting the poetics of scientific graphic material through artistic discourse, emphasizing the presence of the plants and their matter.
