LIMITED EDITION
"Insight Alchemy was born from the mind-numbing, screen intermediated, sensory deprivation of self-quarantined life during the blurry Covid months. Like many, my algorithm bubble got smaller while my echo-chamber got bigger from working, playing and doing everything at home with a small circle of humans and animals. WFH morphed into WTF-happened-to-my-curiosity-and-creativity? I started to feel curiosity challenged. Sensing existential risk, I decided to pursue a lofty, challenging art project that was out of my depth. So I befriended Hannah on Behance, a graphic designer whom I had admired for years; Hannah is a high priestess of handmade book design using a rare printing process called risography. Hannah and I spent two years exploring curiosity, insights and alchemy building on a body of quantitative research I conducted in 2020. Then, adding to our electric creative process came an extra spark from the team at Lucky Riso. We all came together like a gold alloy imbued with the magic of the Alchemist."
