The unbound collection

In 2021, while we were still in a state of significant isolation and uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I wanted a way to reconnect with artists I like, respect, and missed seeing out in the world - this was the birth of the Unbound Collection.  

The Unbound Collection is 12 hand pulled screen prints by Seattle-based artists ruminating on the city itself and presented in a screen printed portfolio with archival interleaving between the prints. I designed the covers and wrote the internal copy while all standalone prints are images from different artists. The roster is not only artists that I respect and wanted to work with but also a diverse group with different visual and conceptual approaches to their work. The theme itself and the physical characteristics of the collection is what ties the work together. 

The cover image is inspired by the Pike Place Public Market sign -- a large, year round farmer's market in downtown Seattle filled with history and an endlessly diverse community of vendors that is beloved by tourists and locals alike. The forest green and earthy neutral colorway for the project was a decision to reflect the natural beauty of the region without crossing over into the commonly used

variations on a green/blue colorway.
