The Press




Digitally Printed Artist's Book sewn on film
2015
8.5" x 6.25"



The Press documents three offset printshops in Chicago: the offset press at the Center for Book and Paper Art, Salsedo Press on the west side of Chicago, and a small printshop set up in a Pilsen garage. As offset printing fades into obsolescence, the book documents the spaces and people involved in offset printing in Chicago. The book was printed on an Epson 4900 inkjet printer and bound by the artist, using recycled materials from the printshops.
