Sometimes the daily routine seems a little futile and we wonder whats it all about!
After working on this letterpress project for a few hours, thoughts become a little clearer. While using tactile old technology, like letterpress, one can get a better perspective on the connection between head, heart and hands.
This was a first exercise using the woodblock typefaces I have collected in recent months, and the original typefaces that came from my farther printing works, that has not been used for at least 50 years, and is probably close to 100 years old. I can honestly say that keeping the old wood type all these years under my bed in 3 houses, a move abroad and then up to Scotland hasn't been a futile exercise.
