It works like this: A design on a yard square block of linoleum is inked, then paper is carefully laid over the linoleum. Heavy blankets go over the paper, then the steamroller slowly runs over the block several times. The paper is then pulled away from the linoleum block and the image revealed.
The images can be quite intricate and the artists are an eclectic mix. Prisoners from nearby San Quenten contributed an artwork.
Paula Meijerink, an assistant professor of landscape architecture at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, along with her crew, recently held their own steamroller-printing event in a Boston parking lot. They made 200 posters by pressing magnesium plates on tar paper via steamrollers. The artwork for the posters, designed by Rik Olson, was a planetary theme with the message, “Rethink the Asphalt Universe.” Rik Olson has also participated in the S.F. event. His poster and other works will be included in an upcoming book called Asphalt that Prof. Meijerink is putting together and will distribute around the design school. The book will contain essays and design ideas exploring various aspects of the omnipresent black stuff in our built environment. The book?EUR??,,????'?????<
Prof. Meijerink has been working with her students to rethink asphalt and come up with some creative new looks for it. She has also created www.onasphalt.com. ?EUR??,,????'?????<
