Surprising, but letterpress has recently become one of my favorite mediums. I had taken a class in college, but having the ability to use the vast amount of type located at the school has been a small dream of mine ever since I saw it last time. Starting the semester off with a few projects, I have decided to begin my piece for an exhibition here in Florence. This year is the 50th year since the damaging flood of 1966. All around the city there will be celebrations, commemorations and festivals. Florence School of Fine Arts, located in an alleyway off of the Piazza Santa Croce, will be hosting artists and their works within the courtyard. I will be using letterpress as well as serigraphy to create a poster commemorating the Florence flood as well as the Grand Forks flood of 1997. Below I have some images of the process as well as the final piece. I can't wait for the show in November, ciao for now!
