Underlying the
Reconstructing the River Liffey map are a sequence of smaller studies which attempt to reveal underlying orders and processes often unrecognized in commonly held visions of reality. The UII Process Print is but one in the series of these experiments. Of about 2 1/2 feet by 6 feet in size the print reveals a small portion of construction process which contributed to the making of the recently completed Urban Institute of Ireland building. The print is taken from a portion of the 'bench', a commonly held term in ireland which refers to a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood laid on the ground of the construction site and used by the woodworkers as a surface on which to cut wood paneling to size. In this case the size of the final portion of bench is representative of the size of paneling, having been in the final stages of completion used as the last bits of paneling. Yet it bears the scars of the previous cuts made and thus embodies within itself both the outcome and the process by which it was made.

The printing of the plywood also revealed under examination the exact position within the larger sheet of 4 x 8 plywood based on an analysis of scar trajectories.
