Description:
Ten letterpress prints and ten offset printed bluelines in clamshell box. Limited edition of 40 copies. Numbered and signed by the artist. Colophon: "Prints were created between 2017-2020 following research at The Newberry Library as a Weinberg Fellow in 2017-2018. Drafts were drawn early in 2020 and offset printed at Fata Morgana Press. Prints and drafts are on Mohawk Superfine Cover & Text." Artist's website: "Ten prints, or ELEVATIONS, cover the themes of printing, women, labor, music, neighborhoods, architecture, motherhood and perseverance. Each tells a story in image and anecdote while featuring a grouping of typefaces based on my approach to the subject. Ten CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS designed to resemble traditional architectural bluelines explain and document the text and typography of the prints."
