An homage to the act of collecting. The source material is an archive of 44 photographs of gladiolus flowers found in an issue of the Cornell Extension Bulletin "Gladiolus Studies" (December 1916, New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University). The title plays on "By choice not chance—On Collecting", a chapter title from another plant publication in Wysocka's archive; it refers to collecting as well as to the structure and printing process of the book itself. Black-and-white plates were overprinted in two different layouts, one coincidental and one intentional, in an experiment in letting go of the artist's control and leaving half of the edit to pure chance. Each copy is unique, made of overprinted impressions in two layers of black Risograph ink and bound by the artist.
