Folio of 12 prints of dust.

A print-maker makes their work in a print studio, a place which houses the necessary materials and equipment (ink, paper, plate, press). Commonly, a print-studio is collectively shared by a number of people...they come, do their work, move about, and leave. This coming and going is generative...materials are used, things are made. Yet, lying outside the frame of one’s artistic intent, beneath the threshold of one’s attention, beneath one’s feet is the ebb and flow of another kind of collective production...the settling and gathering of dust.
