Bernhardt collaborated with Counter Studio in Margate on this edition. When the technicians started proofing, she was drawn more to the incidents and coincidences that took place in each printing rather than to any of the specific colourways. This interest, which aligns with the approach of her studio practice, was woven into the finished edition with each print being produced in a different colourway and some room left for accidental mark-marking within the process. The end result is an edition of 50 unique works that are bright and expressive, celebrating the everyday joy and magic of some good-quality sticky tape.
