| "Both books start with what is possible on, and with the page, an open ended beginning—where there is a conscious absence of planning regarding page order, imposition and orientation—not that those aspects are not important, but there’s something beforehand, something else driving it. The selection of the print matrix, the initial colour choice, overprinting, the layering of the sheets and along the way—what may or may not happen, a mistake or unknown—followed by looking at the finished sequence and making an informed decision about how it goes together—the process reveals things you would never really conceive of as a whole. From these folded interactions you get these unexpected, sometimes beautiful, sometimes clunky relationships occurring— driven by the process of making, by drawing on available ‘tools’ and print matrixes that create a sequence of ‘printable events’ involving making a mark on a mark on a mark which are highlighted by the absence of a mark."
