I am a printmaker and book artist living and working in Liverpool. I spent five years learning how to typeset here in the Bluecoat and eventually set up my own impress - Verso Press Liverpool.
Letterpress printing has been at the core of my work over the past ten years and it has been incredible to be a member of the letterpress community engaged in such a seminal craft.
I want my books to have relevance and I have tried to make work that speaks to the moment. The text is always hand set and the accompanying imagery is made using traditional methods - Lino cuts initially, photography and more recently photo polymer prints.
I continue to learn and describe myself as a journeyman printer.
