The original prints were made on Ilford Galerie Matt (Double Weight) Fibre Paper processed in a very weak solution of Lith Developer. The development of the images took up 30 minutes in total darkness to avoid fogging. This process is what gives the prints clear whites, velvety matt blacks and a pink/brown colour in the mid/skin tones. The production of Ilford Galerie paper was discontinued in 1989.

Only one complete set of this work was made and is in the collection of the Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia. This purchase came was a result of the exhibition ‘Who Do You Take Me For?’ curated by Clare Williamson which included artists such as Sutapa Biswas, Sunil Gupta, Mona Hatoum and Roshini Kempadoo

In the summer of 2006 a smaller sized reprint was made using the original method and materials which, had been stored away for 16 years. The result of many printing sessions is here in this box edition. These original silver prints were scanned and produced as Giclee prints by Metro Imaging in London. There were only 20 sets made.
