This work is intended to reconstruct typographic and symbolic forms, providing new ways of seeing. The body of work elicits an allegorical experience for the viewer offering a chance to question our relationships to the letter forms. The vintage printing cuts, blocks and type are stripped down to mere form and then reassembled. Colors traditionally associated with certain time periods tether the newly interpreted forms to their origins. Although most of the forms are derived from letterpress traditions the body also includes copperplate photo gravures, screen prints, and collagraphs juxtaposed to these assemblages of vintage letter forms providing prompts for further exploration.
