“Not Yet A Breach, But An Expansion” is two plates printed onto expired navigational charts. These charts had been used to navigate aboard Foss tugboats. The paper is high quality, untextured, and is not highly absorbent. This is the first print made using the printing press that my father and I made using a vice press to generate pressure. The title is a reference to John Donne’s poem, “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning.”

The floral image is based on a vintage wallpaper design. The cards have been printed on appropriately sized scraps and cardstock. A greeting card of some variety is included with each print that I send.
