A recent graduate of Austin Peay State University, Kelsey Faye is a practising graphic designer, printmaker, and photographer. Currently, Kelsey is working on a new functional wood block typeface that takes inspiration from street art. They are hoping to use the font for a series of zines which will also feature screen printed elements, balsa wood covers, and a photo series on CMYK screen printing of film photos.
Ultimately, Kelsey aims to build up their own library that will focus on zines and their printing, particularly those that incorporate wood blocks and wood type. “I want to make the power of print personal and cultivate community around it” says the printmaker.
Having only graduated last year, and working two part-time jobs to support their printmaking venture, Kelsey is still working on building their own home studio, influenced by the experimentations they partook in at their university’s studio. They currently have 2 screens, squeegee, tapes, a Mac with the full Adobe suite (mainly using Photoshop Illustrator and InDesign), a variety of wood types, and wood burning and carving materials.
We’re excited to see what’s in store for this young printmaker and type-enthusiast!
