The Elements labels shifted form and I decided to make the Air cards into ‘Sky Labels’.
376 hand-set letterpress printed on handmade labels.
The instructions are as follows:
Take a sky label.
Take it home.
Pin it to the sky.
I also used the letterpress to print 36 words of the elements of ‘Growth’, ‘Soil’, ‘Fire’ and ‘Water’ onto hand-made paper. I framed 24 of each as part of the exhibition. They were pinned to the backing board using lills pins, used by entymologists, botanists and bead artists to secure objects. Fitting.
