A selection of images illustrates the process inside the studio, the works of these artists, and those of Saff. Documenting his collaborative journey which began at Graphicstudio in the late 1960s and continued through the 1980s and later at Saff Tech Arts, this book explores Saff's drive to breach all boundaries in pursuit of creative excellence.Saff has said, Collaboration is a voyage from the known to the unknown with people of common interest who both steer and follow. This statement belies the brilliant inspired energy that Saff brings to the creation of art, and the imaginative applications that allow the great talent of his collaborators to shine through.
