"As a catalog of drawings, STUDIO SPACE PRINT/TIME is a rich reproduction of original works, with the bumps and crevices of various surfaces captured by the bright sheen of pressed pastel. The large-scale rubbings from Falls, first created in 2011, offer a study in material and color as well as a record of the artist's mechanical process. Picking up the subtle textures of the architectural space, Falls has captured an impression of the walls, floors and windows that is both objective and plainly abstracted. Rather than presenting Falls' work as a series of photographic replicas, STUDIO SPACE PRINT/TIME builds around a printing procedure and system of design to elaborate on the principles of the original work. Printed on black paper with an underlaying (and carefully-registered) base of white ink, the artist and designer collaboratively explore offset printing as a material process to create, in a sense, a rubbing of a rubbing. The 18 drawings included in the publication (6 windows, walls and floors), are accompanied by a text from Hamilton that gives an overview of the book's concept and technique. His 'print production algorithm of sorts' turns the project into a step by step manual for producing the publication itself, detailing how to manage image files, separate color channels, convert to greyscale, overlay tints, allocate spot colors, and achieve the particular effect of the work on whole."--Publisher's website.
