press play print

I have a couple of small patches of dirt in my front yard that look like a bit of a jungle after the midwest's torrential spring rains. This was the first year I used the lovely, rich compost my little microbial friends have been crafting for me in the back of my house. It's pretty amazing that garbage can nourish new life. Looking at my house, a similar process is underway; restoring and remodeling to ensure another century for a place called home. Likewise, I respond to my proofs, my make ready's, as similar opportunities.  Subjecting these pages to the process of composting-with pencil, pen, and stencils- imbues the images with a raw sensibility, they are playful in a way that my other more compulsively planned prints do not allow. Saving the earth, one print at a time!
