Printmaking and related graphic arts have an immediacy that is very accessible to the viewer. Combining images and words, with the harmony of letterpress and a variety of creative media, you obtain visual interest. If the test of successful art is found in being able to connect with the viewer, and having a conversation, these factors expedite your creative process. The book format allows you to control sequence and interval, as well as protect your images. There is inherent power and creative potential in this traditional communication format.
