Precipitation

Description:	Medium: Letterpress / hand boundI have had always had an interest in alphabets, letterform and language. I studied combined honours degree (History of Art/Graphic Arts) at Cambridge (1994 -1997) followed by Typo/graphic Studies at Masters level at London College of Printing (1998). Thereafter practicing as a designer, primarily specialising in design for arts organisations, artists and galleries.To inform my studio practice I have always made my own work - predominantly utilising letterpress but also using other forms of printmaking. The interest is scale and the work ranges in size from tiny hand made artist books through to larger site-specific installations. The al-Mutanabbi Street project has bought together a community of creative practitioners. I am very pleased to be one of them. Even though the premise for why we have been brought together is negative the energy, creativity and desire to raise an understanding to the predicament the people who suffered the tragedy is a very positive one. It has also allowed me to continue and savour my relationship to books, language and the written word.
