Moiré Duet
A curl from The Listener lies in a sheet of fine lines. Turn the glass until the two gratings find each other.
Work the plates
At zero, the straight lines meet the unbent field and the curl gathers between them.
The still shows the two plates in register.
From the print room
Make the duet.
Plate A holds the curl in the sideways bend of its lines. Lay Plate B over it. The straight lines move between matching and blocking the bends, and fine differences turn into wide bands.
Print the two A4 sheets at actual size. Use white paper for A and clear printable film for B. Align their four marks and bring the inked surfaces close together.
