Vaka Valo, from the Dream Diary series, 2018

Vaka Valo has just unleashed new works in his "Dream Diary" series, and for the first time he is making prints available. Sign up for notice of the very limited-edition prints here.

Previously: Vaka Valo on 50watts.

A note about the series: "All of my works involve chance, contextual change, and strict limitations. For this project, the pieces begin as tiny collages from old instructional manuals I have meticulously mined. After sorting through thousands of images, I scan the hundreds of individual components, then create the collages digitally, revamping the colors completely, then have the compositions digitally printed and stretched onto canvas VERY large (adding a few more touch-ups by hand), as the dot gain patterns in the colors are clearly discernible upon viewing. There is only a single tangible canvas for each composition."
