Letterpress Zine

Collaborative Zine

This is a collaborative project between myself and Emily Ricks that explores different mediums of printing including letterpress, silkscreen printing, in addition to handcrafting the book. It uses text derived from Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus.

To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions. Performing these two tasks simultaneously, negating on one hand and magnifying on the other, is the way open to the absurd creator. He must give the void its colors.”
