Painting by numbers: Transforming fields and edges vectors (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper considers alternative approaches to image making and printing that moves from the on-screen representation of images and painting applications, to the physical generation and methods for surface deposition or 2.5D printing. The research in... Read More about Painting by numbers: Transforming fields and edges vectors.

Woodblock printing as a means for 2.5D and 3D surface evaluation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Inspired by traditional Chiaroscuro woodblock printing techniques of the 16th century, we explore the use of multicolour impressions produced by relief prints as a means to evaluate the surface rendered with 2.5D and 3D printing technologies. Even t... Read More about Woodblock printing as a means for 2.5D and 3D surface evaluation.

An evaluation of the transferability of Munsell's colour notation methodology to modern inkjet printing technology (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 SPIE. This paper examines the transferability of the Munsell system to modern inkjet colorants and printing technology following a similar approach to his original methods. While extensive research and development has gone into establishing me...

The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer-generated objects in virtual spaces and to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightforward proce... Read More about The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Deconstructing digital printing technologies: Towards reinstating artistic ingenuity in the production of digital colour prints (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This research proposes an alternative perspective to conventional printing workflows. Such workflows are restrictive when standard interfaces conceal self-contained systems, limited by manufacturers’ parameters. This has been observed to inhibit the...

Book Chapter

Chapter 6 in Art, Science and Cultural Understanding covers a brief exploration of the differences in reproduction. A history of the art and science of colour. Forming pictures in the brain: colour appearance, perception, and neuroscience. Reproducti... Read More about The art and science of colour perception and reproduction.

Durer’s Rhinoceros: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer generated objects in virtual spaces and to be able to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightfo... Read More about Durer’s Rhinoceros: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Reproducing the old masters: Applying colour mixing and painting methodologies to inkjet printing (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This research investigates multi-channel inkjet printing methods, which deviate from standard colour management workflows by reflecting on art historical processes, including the construction of colour in old master works, to reproduce specific colou...

Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy (2014)
Journal Article

We studied color constancy using a pair of identical 3-D Color Mondrian displays. We viewed one 3-D Mondrian in nearly uniform illumination, and the other in directional, nonuniform illumination. We used the three dimensional structures to modulate t... Read More about Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy.

Blueprints for colour mixing: Towards 2.5D textural printing (2014)
Book Chapter

As a result of the current advances in inkjet colour management and halftoning the significant impact of inkjet printing has meant that the artist can now take for granted high-quality colour and resolution in their printed images. Now that the digit... Read More about Blueprints for colour mixing: Towards 2.5D textural printing.

An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The objective is to create a micro-environment-an illuminated dome with a constant geometry of illumination-to undertake non invasive observation of the surface topography of artworks. The dome is attached to a stereo-microscope, which is able to gai... Read More about An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques.

The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render s... Read More about The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters.

Exploration of alternative print methodology for colour printing through the multi‐layering of ink (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the application of artist driven colour mixing and multi-layering of pigments using inkjet printing. A standardised colour managment workflow is essential for predicable and repeatable colour for inkjet printing. With the correct...

Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Our current digital technologies are as much a part of the cultural heritage of tomorrow as are the material objects we create and the discourses and narratives that bind theory and practice. In this fast moving technological environment, with increa... Read More about Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper considers alternative approaches to image making and printing that moves from the on-screen representation of images and painting applications, to the physical generation and methods for surface deposition or 2.5D printing. The research in... Read More about Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks.

Methods for multi-layer color printing and decorative inks for ultra-violet fine art inkjet (2013)
Journal Article

As more robust methods for UV cure inkjet printing are being introduced to market, alternative colour and decorative printing methods have been tested for the art, design and print sector.

Color in the age of digital reproduction (2013)
Journal Article

Ask a group of artists to mix a brown and they will likely create a range of rich, deep colors. Ask them to describe
the color and they might resort to analogies such as mahogany, chestnut or chocolate. Ask how to produce the color with pigments and... Read More about Color in the age of digital reproduction.
