    I was awarded a CBAA project assistance grant for the collaborative project, Vista Sans wood type with Ashley John Pigford which utilizes modern technology to create letterpress wood type in an exploration of contemporary methods of typographic design, letterpress printing and book arts. Treacy and Pigford aim to explore the following: how contemporary typefaces can operate within historic printing processes, collaborative experimental printmaking processes, the conceptual nature of the successes and failures of computer and wood technologies. They are currently creating two sets of 432 point wood font of the Emigre typeface Vista Sans, designed by Xavier Dupre.

  • sgc conference in philly 2010

    SGC conference was in Philadelphia this March. The Common Press at University of Pennsylvania held an open house on Saturday, the last day of the conference. With Matt Neff and Sofie Hodara, we created a letterpress/silkscreen poster for the event. Visitors created their own posters to take home.

    Outloud : an invitational artist book performance + exhibition. My collaborative performance and book project with Ashley John Pigford, Lexicology, was one of the performances. It explored the relationships: between words, between people, and between objects and behavior, and the construction of meaning through coincidence.
