IF RISOGRAPHS ARE JUST GLORIFIED OFFICE MACHINES, HOW DID THEY CLIMB INTO THE ART WORLD? Bandy: They were made in Japan in the ’80s, and production peaked in the early ’00s. Around 2010, artists started finding them on Craigslist. People would find out what they could do and post on Instagram, and it grew by word of mouth.
AND WHAT CAN THEY DO? Bandy: Risograph printing’s like silkscreening but more affordable, more approachable.

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
