Arriving at BABE day no.1
The current mainstream publishing practice of giving away content for free, was anticipated by an underground scene of designers producing a substantial number of free electronic magazines...These PDF-zines...were created to showcase creative skills and emphasize affinities between various groups of designers, and generally to function as a breeding ground for aesthetic experiments and content that was either too controversial or simply of no commercial value for mainstream magazines.
Alessandro Ludovico, Post-Digital Print: The Mutation of Publishing since 1894
I have used ISSUU, a PDF-zine publication format, for years. I have viewed from my smart screen larger, well-known magazines and lesser known, independent publications all for the same cost--FREE, on this platform. Poetry zines, female-power magazines, magazines dedicated solely to the aesthetic beauty of color, and hordes of other genres are all accessible with the click of a home screen button. The latter half of Ludovico’s quote rings particularly true--some of these magazine’s wouldn’t just show up at your local bookstore. They are sometimes hyper-niche, but at the same time, of the type of quality that showcases the publishing talent and engages new audiences. I followed one youth style magazine’s featured graphic designer/poet’s recommended Instagram @stinewilson to see that she had a cult following within the genre. This piece was potentially a stab at cultural criticism of a hard-to-pin social current. Her account has organically grown from about 200, when the article first appeared, to now 2,288.
What is an error?
Error is …
Error is: a blunder, failure, fault, flaw, glitch, inaccuracy, lapse, miscalculation, misunderstanding, omission, sin, transgression or wrongdoing; Error is: absurdity, boner, boo-boo, deviation, falsehood, goof, howler, oversight, screamer, slip, stumble, or untruth; Error is: a bad job, faux pas, misbelief, misjudgement, screw up.
Error is not …
Error is not: accuracy, achievement, correctness, perfection, obedience, right, strength or success; Error is not: certainty, fact, honesty, reality, surety or truth; Error is not: validity or correction.
I work with error because …
I work with error because: it creates a deviation from predictability, exactness and accuracy; inaccuracy opens up a pathway for expression; accuracy is a condition or quality of truth; error is the condition of believing or perceiving untruths. I work with error because: it is a mistake in action or speech, which reveals new forms of language and modes of communication; error is a miscommunication, a misperception in meaning and relationships. I work with error because: it opens up new methods of understanding ownership and authorship; error interrogates the notion of finish or resolve. Error exists.

I knew I had to share Elizabeth’s work after seeing it at the Hand-Pulled Prints show @ the Site:Brooklyn Gallery. Her use of multiple techniques and sculpture makes her work compelling from both a technical as was as compositional standpoint.
The house became the focus of my work in 2008 during the recession. The housing market plummeted and many Americans discovered that they could not pay their mortgages and borrowed beyond their means. Banks with unscrupulous lending rules were to blame, and the once reliable institutions which governed these business practices were now considered questionable. At that time it symbolized value and stability; the house as a commodity. As this body of worked evolved over the years, it has become more of a loose idea of the home with a variety of meanings.
Lithography and screen printing are my main mediums. I start with a process that Robert Rauschenberg used back in the 1960’s where he would douse a newspaper in lighter fluid and run it though a litho press. The lighter fluid would loosen the ink of the newspaper and the ink would be pressed onto a paper substrate. My method is a little different. Instead of using a newspaper I take my own digital images of houses, landscapes and textures, print them out on a laser printer, and transfer them to paper with acetone instead of lighter fluid. It is considered a form of paper lithography, where paper is the printing matrix instead of a stone or plate.
My second layer is usually printed from a litho stone, photo litho plate, or screen print. I print as many of these layers as necessary to finish the image. My edition size varies, sometimes only printing 2 or 3, to as large as 50, depending on the project. I make a range of prints using these techniques from traditionally flat prints to 3-D paper sculptures.
