Without Words is a body of work which starts out to memorialise wooden letterpress movable typeface developed in the 19th century. This process has of course its origins in the development of metal movable typeface of 1450 developed by Gutenberg, and which revolutionised the dissemination of knowledge at the time. In a large wall installation comprising 65 separate prints, Without Words draws attention to the loss of function of a defunct technology with the rust acting as a colourant as well as a signifier of the transient nature of all things.
