Home / Body / Land
Home Body Land was created at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum using their extensive historic collection of large wood type.
Immersing myself in the space, once a major American manufacturing site, I reflected on the physical and conceptual weight of the tools and their histories. The work was printed in multiple panels, using layered letterforms to build abstract, fractured compositions. Through movement and rhythm, I engaged with the printing process as a form of embodied memory.
The act of printing became a somatic ritual, linking my own body to past makers and collective expressions of resilience. Created during the early stages of the war in Ukraine, Home Body Land confronts the trauma of displacement through visual fragmentation.
This work explores the concept of the body as a portable home, reclaiming a sense of belonging through physicality and print. “Home Body Land” is pictured here as it was installed at the Newberry Library as part of the exhibition Immigrant Printing in Chicago in 2025.
