When we buried the sheets of paper in the soil, we also dug up a cubit of turf from Dollens farm and carefully separated all the plants with their roots from that piece of turf. These were then scanned into a computer and printed in sepia ink onto the shiny side of acetate. The paper was dampened, and the acetate print taken straight from the printer and transferred to the buried paper by rolling with a clean print roller over the top; they are monoprints. Three large leather-bound books were made up of all of these prints, plus text from Kay Syrad taken from interviews with the three farmers. These were later made up as a small edition hardback and a paperback edition. I made three sets of binary prints to be framed as works. Common Bent is one of these.
