Photographs of nudes and flora taken during 2014. Working with the designer Brian Lamotte, Saveri experimented for months with a Risograph press, producing hundreds of variants of colour and tone. In the right hands the process degrades the images with a textured beauty, but it tends to be unstable and expensive for books of more than a few dozen pages, so the Risographs were treated like original artworks, scanned and printed offset. The pages are printed in monochrome blue and grey tones: close-ups of skin and cloth, trailing plants, and a cat beside a bath tap. The book belongs to a series produced by Dashwood in the form of literary paperbacks.
