I keep a box of scraps from every print run—misaligned layers, overexposed scans, the mistakes. They land in the collage journal when the timing feels right.

Studio ritual

  • Stack translucent papers to test how light leaks through.
  • Annotate every layer with china marker arrows and timestamps.
  • Photograph the spreads in the same window light for continuity.

Imperfection is proof the work passed through real hands.
