print a day

2017

For the entire month of July I dedicated myself to making one print every day. This was not an endeavor to make 31 "perfect" prints, but an exercise in experimentation and acquainting myself with a new workspace. So, here they all are: the good, the not as good, and the ones that will never see the light of day again (except for here, of course).
