Five Decades
2016 12" x 17" edition of 35 A print chronicling my father's union membership across five decades. Made on residency at Starshaped Press in Chicago, meaning I missed his actual birthday back in the UK. Completed the week before the 2016 US election. The supporting hand image was created using the reissued Alphablox type. Colophon reads: Due to amalgamations and breakaways, my father was a member of five unions across five decades, despite only ever joining once. Printed metal type - while discussing UK-US alliances - by Red Plate Press at Starshaped Press in Chicago. Order this print in our shop |
