This volume documents a series of 41 monoprints produced by Dutch designer Karel Martens between 2019 and 2020. Utilizing a collection of Japanese forms discovered at a Tokyo street market, Martens engaged in an experimental printing process that highlights the interplay between found ephemera and geometric abstraction. The work reflects his ongoing exploration of materiality, typography, and the transformative potential of overprinting on historical substrates.
