From The Dymaxion Series: Bucky (ROY GBIV)

A richly layered print combining intaglio and screenprint techniques, this work by Matthew Day Jackson pays homage to Buckminster Fuller through the lens of his iconic Dymaxion map projection. The fragmented, geometric rendering of a world map unfolds across the surface, infused with the spectral colors suggested by the ROY GBIV title — a playful rearrangement of the visible light spectrum. Jackson merges scientific and utopian thinking with a bold graphic sensibility, reflecting his ongoing interest in the intersection of human ambition, technology, and the natural world.
