LETTER

[i]LETTER, The Death of Lord Chesterfield[/i]... Media: Letterpress, Van Dyke Brown Printing, 2009. This is a multi-faceted self-referencing portrait created by altering a series of pages from an early edition (1774) of the published correspondences of the 18th century British statesman Lord Chesterfield to his son. This work plays on the meaning of 'letter' as a written document and as it relates to typography and fine printing. In this work, Lord Chesterfield's portrait is reduced to a typeface.

[size= 11pt][i]Half Life/Full Life...[/i] Media: Tyvek, Paper, Ink, Photography, Archival Pigment, Letterpress[/size][size= 12pt]. Published in 2009, [i]Half Life/Full Life[/i] is an exploration of the atomic age, changes to the Doomsday Clock, and simultaneously occurring, irrelevant cultural events. Accounting for nuclear proliferation and global climate change, the Clock marks the estimated time, in minutes until midnight, until the total annihilation of humankind. [/size] [b]NOTE: On January 14, 2010, the Clock was moved one short minute back (to T-6) based on [i]hope[/i]—recent talks in Copenhagen and elsewhere that created "a hopeful state of world affairs".[/b]
