Variations centers around one photographic image. Every copy is unique in its composition; every page is different from the next.
Originating from the engraving imprint materials of the image, the scans capture remnants of the printing process.
These pieces of paper, utilized to ensure clean prints, are essentially leftovers from the engraving printing process. Through a myriad of processes and materials, the original photographic image undergoes transformation. The variations are the result of analog reproduction techniques, such as photo engraving and offset printing.
The imprints from the image and etching plate are transformed into six offset plates. Editing, designing, printing, reprinting, folding, and assembling the pages in shifting orders contributes to a multitude of variations, resulting in an edition of 285 individual publications.
