Pressed Against the Glass

Year-long, daily scanner art project

In 2026, I decided to take a scan everyday for the entire year. This zine is the eleventh monthly installment featuring the images created throughout this project.

These are some of the rules I set for the project.

• As much of the scanner’s flatbed should be utilized as possible - cropping is okay in small amounts

• Only one scan will be selected per day, but multiple scans can be taken in one day

• Images are just ONE scan, multiple scans cannot be combined into one image

• Images can be edited (within reason) and edits can be selective to certain areas

• When collaging, most collaging must happen on the scanner bed (I’m not making a collage in it’s own right and scanning it)

• Items can be reused

• Anything that can be captured with the scanner is fair game

• Per previous rule, scanning other screens is okay, but like within reason

• Rules are subject to change.
