Parenthesis 01 is part of Parentheses, a series of variable edition prints made with hand set metal and wood type, using parentheses as the only glyphs.
The series started as an attempt to visually represent ambient music. Parenthesis 01 is the first formal edition I made using this style.
This print was made with wood type set by hand, and printed on a Chandler & Price platen. I used sticky notes, thin pieces of wooden furniture, and other tools and tricks to shift the position of the paper by small amounts during the printing process.
Numbered, variable edition of 21. The images shown here are examples of several prints and how they vary from print to print. Your print will look similar to these examples, but may not be one of the prints you see in this listing.
approx 10x6.5 in. Several colors of ink on cover weight laid paper.
