My printer's comment: I really enjoy working with Agata. From a long list of reasons, I'd like to highlight this one: her aesthetics and extraordinary graphic sense transform even the most trivial idea into something brilliant in print. It's a real challenge for a printer not to waste the graphic's potential. Unfortunately, I made that mistake at the beginning... Perhaps a bit out of laziness, I chose the typical printing method, from lightest to darkest. And because this piece has five layers, the print has to go through my double-drum Riso three times. After the first printing session, I realized I'd started with pink, a large portion of which was exactly where the paper suction roller presses the sheet and then stains the rest of the paper. The entire print run went into the trash, and I had to start over. I love working on projects like this precisely because you have to be a bit creative; it's not just about pressing a button and it'll be done. (Michał Chojecki, May 15, 2020)
