Seven Deadly Prints

I just finished a 4-flap enclosure to house this suite of prints I made as a companion to Catholics. Each of the seven images is centered around a communion wafer/solar cross, which was printed with heavy impression from photopolymer plates. Surrounding this central image is a Bruce Rogers–inspired frame printed from metal typographic ornaments that alchemically shifts from print to print. The wafers/solar crosses animate a sequence that comments on narrative threads included in the artist's book, while also operating as an independent group. The suite was printed in an edition of ten, and is available either individually or paired with the book in a deluxe edition.

Bullets, Braces, Borders

I printed this promotional giveaway last semester as part of my Print Projects graduate assistantship at the University of Iowa Center for the Book. It's letterpress printed from handset metal type in three colors on Magnani Pescia paper. 

UICB Open House

The University of Iowa Center for the Book is hosting their annual Open House tomorrow night from 4 - 6 pm. As part of my Graduate Assistantship, I letterpress printed a flyer advertising the event. The whole thing is printed from handset metal type.

There will be printing, binding, and papermaking demos tomorrow—stop by the ground level of North Hall to see them, eat some homemade snacks, and look at student work on display.
