SCRIM is an artists book that serves as a purposeful record of Ida Nissens creative process and a collection of her finished works. This rich edition, printed in five colors, showcases a wide range of influences and sources, unraveling ideas and underlying maneuvers that exist in a state of flux between distant and close, foreign and alike, hidden and revealed. Remnants from the color darkroom and the large-format camera blend with memories, found images, book clippings, and cut-out shapes, creating a stream of consciousness that is interspersed with Nissens finished collage works. The hard-cover book is clothbound in a granite-black fabric with a loose weave, referencing the books title and the nature of a scrim fabric. The silver Pantone ink used throughout hearkens back to the gelatin silver darkroom process fundamental to Nissens experimental, camera-based practice. The typeface in use, Favorit Hangul, underlines and complements the search into the artists South Korean origin as its tubular shapes and geometric constructions formally reference the Korean Hangul alphabet. SCRIM is printed in an edition of 300, of which 50 are a special edition, each with an additional silkscreen impression on the front cover, hand-printed by the artist, and a unique set of photogram cut-outs enclosed in an acid-free sleeve on the inside back cover.
