Within the grid and beyond the pattern is a homage by Sigrid Calon (Den Bosch, 1969) to the grid and its endless possibilities to discover new shapes and color combinations. For this series, Calon explored eight shapes based on the square and the circle, with eight colors (yellow, fluorescent orange, fluorescent pink, red, blue, green, gold and black) in one grid in twelve sizes (3 x 4) and came up with up to 120 compositions in shape & color. This resulted in a new book and a new series of riso prints and textile works.
Calon continued her research in the translation from riso to textile. In 2021, Calon researched the conversion of shape and color to yarn in the Textile Museum Tilburg. Calon uses the printing screen and tries to approximate the full printing colors of the risoprint with yarns as closely as possible. She tries to match the extra colors achieved with overprint by mixing yarns and the color of the warp threads.
The riso prints, the book and the textile works are presented in her solo exhibition in the gallery.
