“I printed this for 90 cents at Kinko’s.”

I started working as a letterpress printer in 2021 as a poster printer at the Press at Colorado College. Since the start, I’ve been enamored with printing’s demands of my attention from the level of the pica or single point, to the scale of room-filling industrial machinery. Letterpress doesn’t forgive a neglect of context easily, which is satisfying to me as I work through parallels and juxtaposition.
“Writing? That’s a nice hobby.”
