From Three Star Books:
"Liz Deschenes relies on traditional photographic principles. In her recent Moiré series, she begins with a sheet of perforated paper placed against a well-lit window. She opens the shutter, closes it, and registers the silhouetted pattern of the paper on an 8x10 inch black and white negative. However, Deschenes does not print this singular photographic event. Rather, duplicating the negative, she superimposes two copies in the enlarger distorting the original image. Printed in color, the final image does not reveal the perforated paper, but, through the artist’s mis-registration of the two negatives, a unique moiréd formation."
Twenty four new moirés, specially created for this occasion, are printed on a combination of Keaykolour and Curious Translucent Clear paper, the plates are bound with a Cerlox Binding — the same used on Man Ray’s book: “Photographs 1920 - 1934” (Hartford, James Thrall Soby, 1934). The bound volume is protected with a cardboard and fabric hot foil stamped cover."
