Eudaimonia

September 29, 2022

Letterpress, hand-set metal type

6” x 4”

Created for a NW Letterpress Network group exchange in the autumn of 2021, as an expression of delight in learning about Eudemonology from a podcast. Eudaimonia has been defined as a life well-lived, or human flourishing. As the balance of the days moved towards darkness, I was searching for ways to flourish in the spirit of mutual aid. Color choice was influenced by the wondrous light of the aurora borealis.

Hand set in Ultra Bodoni, two color background relief printed as a split fountain using a litho blanket for the image block.
