⁉️ things I've printed with include:
red cabbage sliced type-high, my pinkie fingerprint, seeds from the first flower I ever grew from seed, bubble wrap, material I lasercut into movable type & printing blocks (boxwood, cherry, white ash, hard maple, pine, bamboo, birch; acrylic; hard lino), the label on the positive lockup bar, letterpress furniture, craft foam, anti-bird netting, jello (jellygraph, aka hectography), alcohol (spirit duplication), a KN95 mask, THE POWER OF THE SUN (lol, aka cyanotype photography)
🗺️ I've sold my art to folks in the U.S. (25 states!), Canada, and England // 🏛️ You can see it hanging in places including IRIS Center for Digital Humanities & Social Sciences at SIUE, the Penland School of Craft's august Letterpress Studio Bathrooms :), Virginia Book Arts (formerly in VA Center for the Book), the Scholars' Lab, the Virginia Festival of the Book Literary Marketplace, The Data-Sitters Club, the lovely, free, non-Substack Amplifying Trans Joy newsletter, and Brandon Walsh's forthcoming book! // 😎 (Let me know if you've hung my work in a public or institutional private space, or featured it on a digital platform?)
