There has been a sequence of book projects spread out from 1992. This is a specific area of collaboration that stands alone in my creative practice and one I would be keen to extend in the future. The art of the limited-edition letter press publication is a beautiful world that goes far beyond the artist’s preparation of blocks to encompass the setting out of the design (especially the space around and between the text and image), the printing, binding and slip covers.
