Roberts Street residency pics

James and I had one week to print 100 copies of our book and poster/sculpture, which involved burning and pulling 17 screens 100 times (plus a few extras just in case). Crazy, but we did it!

High humidity + one small drying rack = frantic problem-solving. Thankfully the angled ceiling on the second floor allowed us to hang rows of prints to dry. We were up all night running prints up the stairs, and had every possible surface of the building covered in drying prints.


A few days later, here's me and James registering the blue layer of the cover print.


Beau and Selwyn saved the day. We had the windows shut and heaters on to help the prints dry. Selwyn toasts them over the heater before running them upstairs.


James needed this special Jamie-Q-designed head wrap to cushion all the screen-balancing.


Prints are cut, thanks to Joe Landry at the Dawson Print Shop.


Pages are folded, the assemble-it-yourself sculpture has 3 more colours to print.
