In 2021, David Krut Projects invited artist and curator Mbali Tshabalala into the David Krut Workshop (DKW) to collaborate on a series of unique works on paper. Working closely with printer Sbongiseni Khulu, the collaboration resulted in two variable editions using a range of techniques and materials. Normally, when you are printing an edition, you are striving to make each print in the edition as close to identical as possible. With a variable edition, most of the image information is still coming from the plates, but the artist and the printer are intentionally manipulating the printing in some way to make each print unique.
