"Scatter Shot" Abstract Yellow Letter Type MonoPrint 18.25x15
Title: Scatter Shot
Description:
Scatter Shot is an energetic monoprint built from hundreds of pieces of reclaimed letterpress type—old printing blocks once meant to form words, now released into a burst of visual motion. Printed in a striking golden yellow, the composition feels like an explosion of form: blocks flying outward, intersecting, colliding, and settling in unpredictable clusters.
Every fragment carries its own history—worn edges, tiny imperfections, traces of a once-precise craft. Here those pieces are set free, scattered across the page in a way that blurs the line between chaos and intention. The dense center radiates outward into looser, more fragmented areas, giving the impression of something mid-movement: a thought breaking open, a structure coming undone, or the moment after impact when everything is suspended in the air.
Both playful and intricate, Scatter Shot showcases the expressive potential of analog type when removed from its original role. It becomes a study in pattern, rhythm, and the beauty of unpredictability.
