Pablo Picasso created drawings in his sketchbook whereby pressing hard,  he would create an imprint that would transfer a faint trace to the following page. Greeted on the subsequent page, he would be provided with a new opportunity to alter the next image either  gradually or radically.

The opportunity to create multiples and develop work through a series is best celebrated with the disciplines of ceramics, bronze, glass, photo and print. The matrix, the mold, the cast and the contact sheet all celebrate the ways in which artists have played around with the variant, the duplicate, the edition, and serial imaging. The artists in this exhibition delve into this subject of the repeated form, the mother-board, the edition and its variants, and even the wide lens of multiple ways artists work within a series.
