Bryan Christopher Baker uses inked dice to create these luscious letterpress compositions.
This piece was printed on a letterpress (Vandercook32-28) in a limited edition of 10. The composition was built by arranging 1,147 dice on the bed of the press, and ink was rolled directly onto the face of the die for each impression.
Some views of prints in production at the University of Iowa from the artist’s Etsy shop:
That’s just beautiful.
love the technique. i think that a random dice pattern would be more interesting visually and conceptually.
