The Lost Call

Letterpress, Pochoir, rubber stamp, screenprint. Edition of 50 (40 of which formed part of POSTED/UNPOSTED, British Isles).

The Lost Call is designed as an imagined 10th pamphlet of H N Werkman’s The Next Call - inspired by, and in memory of, the artist. Both pamphlet and envelope were produced using a variety of techniques, most utilised by Werkman himself. The book reads as a standard codex but removing the hinge reveals the gatefold towards a poster.

Tiksel Talk

Typewriter, risograph, letterpress, cupcycled card and newsprint.

Ongoing variable edition.

These books form an ongoing series of typewritten and risograph works inspired, in part, by H N Werkman. The starting point is risograph printed basic shapes that makeup letter forms (line and circle). These larger prints are cut to smaller pages to give a range of variable compositions. With the help of Monica De Luxe, the pond-rescued typewriter, the pages are completed, with the repeat of mechanically produced characters as a pattern. The pages are worked on for one hour each day and have become a diary of mood written meaning. These pages are collated and sewn in a six-section exposed spine chain stitched binding.
