I’ve spent much of this week printing, or more accurately, gumming plates and passing paper to my printer, Bernie, who’s 84 and an absolute craftsman. There have been problems with the offset plates for our prints, which has been making printing very difficult if not impossible. However, after much problem solving in the plate room, all is resolved and I have my fingers crossed that Gracia and my forthcoming work will now print beautifully.
This past week I have also been working on a book that Gracia and I are making in collaboration with the Australian Poetry Centre for Father’s Day. I am very excited about this collaboration and all that is ahead with this project.
I shall leave you now with a peek of one of the pieces sitting in Bernie’s workshop, ready to roll on the press Monday morning.
