UV-cured inkjet on polyethylene vacuum-formed over knotted rope

The work by Seth Price features UV-cured inkjet printing on polyethylene that has been vacuum-formed over knotted rope, resulting in a surface that bears the textured impression of the underlying material. The industrial process transforms the flexible plastic into a rigid skin, capturing the organic twists and loops of the rope beneath. This interplay between mechanical reproduction and physical form reflects Price's ongoing investigation into how objects and images are mediated, distributed, and given material presence.
