Halftone press photos
Grainy black-and-white halftone with flash bursts. The shots land as pages of a 1950s picture magazine, then a contact sheet with a red grease-pencil circle.

Looks that sit near it
- Vintage board gamePrinted cardboard from separate ink plates: halftone dots, slight misregistration, worn edges. Turned wooden pawns hop, wobble and dance on the board.
- Risograph posterMisregistered pink, teal and yellow inks with halftone grain, and a Warhol triptych.
- Old stencil-coloured tarotBlack outlines with flat colour that slips off the lines, on aged card. The camera moves into a card and its picture comes alive in stiff steps.
- Ink and newsprintGrey bureaucracy in heavy ink line, with the sky as the only colour.
