Print is Alive: A Manifesto
Digital media can’t replicate the feeling of holding paper ephemera, postcards from afar,
a receipt from a first big purchase, a love letter, a menu kissed with coffee stains. You can feel the kilometres these objects have travelled, the time it took to write, typeset or stamp them. Print is alive, outlasting us. Yet with technology, what do we leave behind? Recipes sit in apps, photos in desktops, letters in notes.
My manifesto is to create material archives to write, print and leave traces that can be touched, worn and discovered long after me.
