Het Andre Behr Pamflet No. 35 is a staple bound artist book by Rúna Thorkelsdóttir published by Boekie Woekie in 2014. The book is a collection of colorful prints. Thorkelsdóttir draws directly on paper offset plates, which appear transparent on the light table, in order to produce the works in this book. Using a Rotaprint machine for her work has become a self described “love affair” for the artist. These works are a testament to that affair. Colorful and complex the works use elements of pattern making and machine printing in order to exist in the space between a hand produced drawing and computer generated graphics.
