Screen-printing books by hand could be seen as a nostalgic occupation. This intimate method of production requires a lot of time, personal commitment and care. In July last year I began screen-printing an anthology of poetry, prose and illustration after choosing work from 15 extremely talented writers, poets and illustrators.Some of the contributors who entrusted me with their work are already established in their fields, such as illustrator Fuchsia MacAree and poet Geraldine Mitchell. Others are just starting out. All of them were interested in committing their work to this hand-printed, hand-bound format.For many authors or artists, it’s an appealing idea: artwork is carefully pressed onto each page, hundreds of times, using a process that requires meticulous attention to detail. The printer must love the work as much as the person who first created it.
Merritt creates her card confections using a unique Print Gocco machine from Japan, which stamps her images using multiple shades—different from traditional screen printing, and responsible for the kaleidoscope of color in her designs.
