Habitué

– Out of Print –

The focus this semester was on the idea of repetition. After lengthy discussion, the students decided to explore the habitual everyday things that one does that define your identity. Twelve point Centaur and Arrighi typefaces were hand typeset and printed onto Somerset Satin paper. Inventive repetitious typesetting and word play enliven the pages. Repetitive paths cross and re-cross on both the back and on the front of the accordion-folded book. The image paths were constructed from 5-ply vinyl glued to MDF boards, while the reverse paths were carved from linoleum. Both were printed letterpress on Vandercook presses. Further imagery was carved into linoleum. Some blocks were overprinted while others were suicide blocks. The accordion-folded book is bound in a hard case with lime green cloth glued onto Davey board with recessed paths. The size is 5 x 5 inches and is printed in an edition of 100 copies.
