Fine Print Error comes from the idea that most of a life exists in the parts no one really marks down. A life is made up of regular objects, and the habits we take for granted, and our bedtime routines.

A lot of what makes my life mine is not something I choose explicitly, but instead is passed down to me by my friends and family. It’s built out of repetition, out of my small preferences for meaningless things, out of items I’ve kept and ones I’ve let go of without thinking too hard about. When I actually stop and look at it, there’s a pattern in what has affected me.

This project is me trying to pay attention to that. To treat those simple parts of my life as something worth looking at directly, instead of just letting them pass through. Not to turn them into something magnificent or incredibly symbolic, as many are inclined to do, but to see them as they exist, and to understand how they add up into something that feels like a whole life.
