"I generally make things that advertise the way I feel — or celebrate things I have chosen to have meaning. My work takes the form of posters and t-shirts and incorporates text from books, song lyrics and found images I collect. (These pieces of information may express something that I'd like to share or reveal how I'd like the world to work.) In order to anchor the feelings or thoughts first evoked by the texts or images, I often add dates and times as part of my designs.


These numbers are a futile attempt to capture fleeting moments.


The prints I have made here are unique — but say the same thing. I am interested in graphic design, and I have used the simple exercise of rearranging elements on a page to figure out which layouts work. Ultimately though, this is of no real consequence. If the final placement means something to me, then it does, and if not, then it doesn't. The same thing goes for the words. In a way, the information on the print meanders — aimlessly and idly.

The Age of Comfort: When Paris Discovered Casual--
and the Modern Home Began
by Joan DeJean


"French cultural historian DeJean presents an entertaining account of how home life was virtually reinvented in Paris from 1670 to 1765 as sofas, running water and flush toilets appeared in modern residences: the city became a giant workshop in which inventions in the arts and crafts and innovative technologies were tried out. Louis XIV's and Louis XV's royal mistresses displayed a bold vision for integrating architecture, interior decor and fashion, thus influencing modern comfort. In private mansions, French architects subdivided interior space to allow for varying degrees of privacy. As bathing became a pleasurable, commonplace activity, tubs became more comfortable and were redesigned as decorative objects in their own right. Men fell in love with the superexpensive flush toilet; the sofa—created by the architect Meissonnier—attained instant celebrity status; and interior decoration became a subset of the new architecture of private life as Parisians discovered that domestic interiors should be the expression of their personal taste. DeJean's latest (after The Essence of Style) is well researched and brimming with anecdotes and architectural and design details."

"I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands."

"My early work is the fear of falling. Later on it became the art of falling. How to fall without hurting yourself. Later on it is the art of hanging in there."

Destruction of the Father / Reconstruction of the Father:
Writings and Interviews, 1923-1997"Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern."

"Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation – and I like that. "

Eric Gill
"The shapes of letters do not derive their beauty from any sensual or sentimental reminiscences. No one can say that the O's roundness appeals to us only because it is like that of an apple or of a girl's
breast or of the full moon. Letters are things, not pictures of things."

Eric Gill

During his lifetime he set up three self-sufficient religious communities where, surrounded by his retinue, he worked as sculptor, wood-engraver, and type designer. He also wrote constantly and prodigiously on his favourite topics: social reform; the integration of the body and spirit; the evils of industrialisation; and the importance of the working man.

As the revelations about Gill's private life resonated, there was a reassessment of his personal and artistic achievement. As his recent biographer sums up: "After the initial shock, […] as Gill's history of adulteries, incest, and experimental connection with his dog became public knowledge in the late 1980s, the consequent reassessment of his life and art left his artistic reputation strengthened. Gill emerged as one of the twentieth century's strangest and most original controversialists, a sometimes infuriating, always arresting spokesman for man's continuing need of God in an increasingly materialistic civilization, and for intellectual vigour in an age of encroaching triviality."[
