Framework

Framework began with an investigation of the warped woodblocks in the caseroom. Damaged by the 2018 fire, its cause was left ‘officially undetermined’, and the letters are unable to run through the press. In response, the project’s lettering mirrors the scaffolding that now envelops the building, framing it as an architectural form itself. By translating these letters into a printable photopolymer plate, the work returns to the letterpress, grounding the project where it began.
