Splendid Irony

 Splendid Irony reflects on my relationship to text as a print-disabled artist and librarian. I exist in a liminal space between print and electronic text, always longing for the tangible. My work draws on the tension between tactile and visual modes of perception and the human touch we often lose by reading digitally. Through print, and physical media in general, I regain an intimacy lost in our digital age. One that can be found on the press or by directly animating on film. With this selection of letterpress animations and printed work, I experiment with light, magnification, and sound to challenge traditional methods of reading and the didactic meaning we place on text.
