This past week, we started printing the first of four broadsides for our collaborative piece: What We're Made Of. The imagery consists of various star charts designed in InDesign and printed from polymer plate, as well as linoleum cuts of drawings I have done to accompany the poetry. The poems were written by my friend Judith, and were inspired by NPR's Stardate series. The four prints will be housed in a portfolio case. Our goal is to print an edition of 25.
On our first day of printing, we successfully completed the imagery for two of the four broadside. I still have some imagery to complete and proof for the other two. Judith has been hard at work setting the type for the poems. All but one of them will be printed from metal type. One will be printed from a polymer plate because we do not have enough Lydian available in the studio.
More images to come soon as we progress.
