I’ve added “state” to the title of certain misprints to document their various stages. This term, borrowed from traditional printmaking, indicates a specific stage of the plate. Another concept introduced into my process is “matrix,” which traditionally refers to the substrate—like a plate or woodblock—in printmaking that yields multiple prints. In the Misprints project, this concept is nuanced and inverted: the inkjet printer, typically used for producing identical prints, is altered to create a unique monoprint.
