Exploring how experimental printmaking processes can foster an experience that challenges perfection and creates an embodied sense of flow.

Embracing Imperfections offers a tactile representation of my creative process, printed on the work that embodies my experimentation, guiding you through the influences that shape my making. As the experiments unfold, they reveal the fundamental connections between the imperfections of the creative process and the liberation from perfection. As a part of this exploration, the project considers the concept of publication as an artistic archive, shedding light on how tactile prints are reproduced and the fluctuating perception of value as a result. Presented in a hand-craft publication, this practice-led inquiry not only provides a narrative of personal discovery, but it also extends an intriguing invitation to others, challenging them to look inward, celebrate flaws, and be inspired to liberate perfection in their creative practice.
