Print & Paper
My original interest in the printing process stems from a fascination with the materials used and the tactile experience created through touch. The journey of transforming ideas into physical form is both intricate and captivating, as it allows for a unique interaction between the creator and the audience. Each material, from paper textures to inks, plays a vital role in defining the final product and influences the way an object is perceived.
The tactile experience of printing engages not only the visual senses but also invites a physical connection. The weight of the paper, the richness of the ink, and the way the surface feels under one’s fingertips all contribute to a multi-dimensional encounter. This sensory interaction heightens appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in the printing process and fosters a deeper understanding of the art form.
Moreover, the process itself—marking the evolution from concept to creation—shows how design is an amalgamation of technique, material, and intention. Exploring different printing techniques, whether it’s letterpress, offset, or digital, further deepens my understanding and appreciation for how each method influences the final aesthetic and functional outcome. Overall, my passion for the printing process encompasses not just the end result but the entire journey, celebrating the blend of artistry and technology that brings printed works to life.
