It is an experiment in handmade type, 'printed' with needle and CMYK-coloured threads. This is my first fully CMYK-embroidered alphabet. My intention was to create stitched letterforms considering typographic characteristics: legibility, coherence, weight and contrast. I wanted to avoid manipulating existing character sets – this is not halftoned Gill Sans or Helvetica. I began by setting up a 4-layer halftone grid with 10 crosses per x-height. The screen for each colour is set at a different angle: Cyan 105˚, Magenta 75˚, Yellow 90˚ and Black 45˚. The challenge was to construct a coherent character set upon this grid. Each letter consists of four layers, Cyan being printed first and Black last. The equal blend of stitched CMYK colours results in handmade Registration Black.

Based on my arsenal of CMYK cross-stitch and primary colours, I attempt to create a series of motion illusions where a static image is perceived as moving. My intention is not to copy well-known examples but create new ones using three kinds of variables: colour, screen angle and cross size. In addition to moving illusions I am working on prints exploring transparencies, volume perception, colour interaction, lightness and contrast. All prints 210 x 280 mm, stitched on Canaletto Book 300 gsm. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1576481/MovingImages-by-EvelinKasikov-Ia_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="743" width_o="905" height_o="743" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1576481/MovingImages-by-EvelinKasikov-Ia_o.jpg" align="left" caption="Moving Image I – Spinning Circles.

various handmade type projects created during the first year of my MA at St Martins, 2006–2007. Sans-serif and Broderie Anglaise An experiment that combines typography and broderie embroidery in order to create intriguing combination between Modernist aesthetics and handmade craft. Based on Frutiger, letters are converted to outlines. In embroidery, the points between curves became bridges that hold the letter together.

The text is set in Minion Pro as is the book and relates to the original baseline grid. The folded booklet is the size of the original book 5,2*9 inches. Folds in the poster divide the sentence into 8 sections of decreasing halftone screen, imposing different viewing distances simultaneously to the reader. As the resolution decreases in the pages the text becomes unclear. Due to the low resolution an aspect of meaning is lost and the halftone dots, the invisible “building blocks” of a colour, are revealed.

In this experiment I merged additive and subtractive colour space to create dialogue between two elements that usually do not fit together. The poster features the word seeing halftoned at low resolution. The six letters are mapped to a spectrum of six colours that corresponds to wavelengths from 380 to 780 nm. The poster is folded into sections by colour – violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. The width of each section relates to wavelength of one particular colour on the spectral scale. 700x320 mm (embroidery 495x255 mm), folded, 4 colours on 140 gsm acid-free paper. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Seeing-by-EvelinKasikov1_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Seeing-by-EvelinKasikov1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Seeing-by-EvelinKasikov2_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Seeing-by-EvelinKasikov2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Estonian Colours The project aims to visualise poetic language by comparing the rhythm of Estonian national patterns with the poetic rhythm that is characteristic of poetry in the Baltic-Finnish region. I saw poetry based on that rhythm like a patterned language. I studied theories of poetic language and based my work on the idea that the basic structure of pattern stripes and ancient poetry is the same: they are both based on unit and repetition. Taking 5 well-known ballads as a case-study and I looked from where in Estonia they originate and I researched the patterns and colours of these particular regions. Then, I reconstructed the colour patterns on the basis of descriptions and converted them into CMYK colour codes. I created a series experiments based on the structure of patterns and rhythmic patterns of parallelism, alliteration and intensity. The result is poetry without words, a visualisation of poetic language. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov1a_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov1a_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov2_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov3_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov4_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov5_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov6_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov6_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov7_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov7_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov8_905.jpg" border="0" width="905" height="600" width_o="905" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/92554/1406282/Estonian-Colours-by-EvelinKasikov8_o.jpg" align="left" /> 4 x 4 hours In this handmade poster each square section represents continuous 15 minutes of work.

Each issue focusses on a different city. I was invited to contribute to the premiere issue – New York.
