A Collection of Ten Risograph Print Publications
Collateral is an archive of rejected risograph test prints — materials typically discarded before the final outcome ever begins. To reduce waste, these overlooked sheets are printed on top of one another, producing unintentional collaborations: unexpected layouts, chance compositions, and colour combinations no designer would have planned. The result is a collection of ten publications that find meaning in the incidental, treating the byproduct as the work itself. Like fingerprints left by fresh ink, each print carries the trace of its own making.
Collateral is an archive of rejected riso test prints, found at CSM. Each print is both in this digital archive and in a print publication.
A Risograph is a printing machine that requires test prints before a usable print comes out.
To reduce waste, test prints are printed on top of each other, creating unintentional layouts, collaborations, patterns and colour combinations.
