Liz Rideal made *Love at First Sight* in 2004 as a print. The fabric’s folds and layers create a moiré effect, blurring where one color meets another. It’s a simple process—ink on cloth pressed to paper—but the results look complex. The V&A calls this an experimental series. Rideal inks fabric, then prints it directly without a plate or block. The fabric’s weight and drape shape the image, so each print is one-of-a-kind. If you like this, look up the artist Rideal, Liz.
