“Maybe it’s the age of the raw materials–photos from 1954, etching from 1973, text from 2019. Maybe it’s my mood during these days of insecurity. I wanted to make this book by hand, at least as much as I could. So I, and my accomplices, fed the paper through Xerox and Risograph printers. I collated and bound the books by hand. Ack, the piles of paper in my studio! But the result is something that feels hand-touched, imperfect, and authentic. I hope you do, too.” -Aaron Krach, September 10, 2019
