A short run of 50 was produced for the exhibition held in Oldham in summer 2010.
The first publication Reform produced for Qasim, Khusra: Stains and Stencils helped raise awareness and promote the artist.
This first edition, printed using three different papers throughout to change texture relevant to the content. The print was limited to 750 copies: 250 copies are hardbound in Flockage of which 10 contain an original print; 500 copies are paperbound in Curious Touch Soft Milk. 50 of these is stamped by the Artist.
Shaheen said of Reform: “Reform is receptive to my artistic practice and we had a mutual understanding of what was to be conveyed. This is why I had no hesitation in returning to Reform for my second publication and indeed will for future design work. We have, yet again, produced a beautiful vessel in which to hold my work.
