TEXT-OBJECT-PROCESS: PRINTING & CUTTING

After all of the letters were on the pages, I moved the operation to a different theater, my home studio. The next step is the one that contained most of the action—the simultaneous cutting and printing of the letters. Using a xacto knife, I cut around each letter, about 2/3 of the way into the sheet of paper. My other hand was inked up as I cut, leaving prints over the formerly empty shapes of the letters. They were two rounds of printing/cutting, one for the titles in red and one for the main texts in black.
