I attended LACMA's The Serial Impulse At Gemini G.E.L. which presented a selection of notable projects from the renowned Los Angeles print workshop Gemini G.E.L.

Gemini G.E.L. is an artists' workshop and publisher of limited prints located in Los Angeles. Founded in 1965 by master printer Ken Tyler, the workshop has collaborated with many artists of the years.
Among the projects Michael Heizer's Scrap Metal Dry Print stood out to me.

“We are a piecemeal society. We make big things out of little things. Our buildings are millions of fragments stuck together.”—Heizer, 1983

Heizer used salvaged waste aluminum and zinc from the California aeronautical industry. He cut discs from sheets with evidence of physical signs of wear and tear from scratches and scrapes. The disc sizes were calculated  according to a geometric theorem that dictated equivalence between surface area of a circle and four proportionally smaller circles. The combined surface area of the smaller segments equals that of the surface area of the large circle. After arranging the parts to illustrate the theorem in six permutations he inked the plates and used a high pressure hydraulic newspaper press.
Within the pieces one can see "a pulse" of lunar landscapes, microscopic colonies, or intersections of crystals formed by the worn surface area of the sheet metal.

Thanks for a great semester!
