This film is created from newly restored footage of Jasper Johns, collaborating with Simca Print Artists, that I shot years ago in Super 8mm film. In creating this new film, I could revisit and review the art making process that I documented back then. In a voiceover narrative, I locate myself - then and now - within what for me was a formative experience. I also talk about Jasper's process as we watch it play out in relation to the prints they are making.
