Graphite on paper, 2018. 14 by 11 inches.
The Komori 10-color offset printing press at The Prolific Group in Winnipeg printed a substantial portion of every issue of Esopus produced there. It is a magnificent machine, capable of perfecting (simultaneously printing both sides of) 10-color forms at high speeds with a state-of-the-art UV-LED ink-curing process, and it is run by a number of excellent pressmen whom I’ve gotten to know well over the years. The form being printed in this photo is from Esopus 23 (2016), and includes images from Stefan Kürten’s Perfect World artist’s project for the issue.
