#ABeautifulThingOfNoImportanceOr is a unique edition of #ABeautifulThingOfNoImportance prints which are reprocessed with their layers separated and then printed off-register, which means the separations no longer line up and overlap perfectly the way they would for normal for-print files. They are then printed using a Risograph machine, which allows one to print separate ink layers as if cmyk printing, but using Riso inks instead.

The resulting images are different from their originals, some are warm, soft and comforting, while others are stacked and evocative of mountainous landscapes or other things we might seek to categorize them with in the real world. At their heart, they remain intimate, abstract vestiges of fragments of light and color from our everyday world that are have now become something new and perhaps something precious. Though they began as digital images, they turn into tangible, 4-color-printed Risographs, which are, due to the process, now unique images in and of themselves.
