Plain Hunt on Four: 4321 is part of the larger Change Ringing series, which brings together Johns’s screen-printing practice and current research in weaving. Here, the artist sees how visual vibrations can shift the viewer’s perception of interior space using optical effects and patterns such as the shadow-weave process and moiré (familiar interference patterns that happen when grids of similar sizes are layered and slightly displaced). This image was created using a weaving software that served as a digital mock-up for a woven artwork and as the visual base for this screen-printed work.
