Abstract work made from things worth keeping.
Each piece is built from vintage papers and printed with antique wooden type on a century-old letterpress — layered until the history of the materials becomes something entirely new. Original work, made in Rhode Island, for collectors who want something quiet and considered on their walls.
Alongside original work, I teach collage and letterpress to artists online and in person.
A closer look at Driftway Studio, the press, vintage book pages, wooden type, and where each piece begins.
The materials behind the work
Vintage paper, wooden type, and a proof press in a basement studio in Rhode Island.
Paper, Type & Collage is a free guide to what I collect, how I print, and how those prints become abstract collage.
