Tauba Auerbach worked on proofs at Paulson Fontaine Press (formerly Paulson Bott Press) for her 2013 Mesh/Moire etchings. “We tried a bunch of different meshes and a bunch of different stretches. I landed on a pretty elastic fabric mesh that I could pull and manipulate without it buckling. We made seven plates with this particular mesh and then they printed every possible combination of two plates, including flipping one of the plates each time. From this group I edited it down to what I thought were the six most interesting compositions and started color tests. I arrived at these very contrasting color combinations, which—when printed on top of one another combine to make something kind of neutral. I think that the complementary colors together are really interesting.”
