There is a long tradition of artists using visual representations of the alphabet to convey ideas, emotions, and even propaganda. This has been part of the printmaking tradition for more than 500 years. Our goal is to make a work that fits within this tradition and tells a particular story. Defective Characters speaks to these times with our heightened awareness of mental health, anxiety and other harmful maladies, using dark humor to illuminate a serious topic. In creating this work we used only the most traditional printmaking methods to create a piece with a contemporary and popular aesthetic.
