"Cooler Heads" Abstract Green letter Type MonoPrint 18x17

Title: Cooler Heads
Description:
Cooler Heads is a monoprint composed from small, salvaged pieces of vintage letterpress type—fragments that once lived in strict, orderly lines. Here, they gather into a rounded, layered formation that reads almost like a crowd in motion. Printed in deep, muted green, the piece carries a calm, steady presence despite the density of its structure.

The upper portion feels lighter, more open, as though the blocks are giving each other space—ideas settling, tensions easing. As the eye moves downward, the forms tighten and interlock, creating a sense of weight and grounded stability. The overall effect is a compositional “cooling”—a unified shape made from elements that could easily scatter, but instead hold together in quiet consensus.

The worn textures of the old type reveal their history, reminding us that every component has been pressed, used, and weathered. Yet together they form a collected whole—balanced, deliberate, and composed. Cooler Heads becomes a meditation on patience and perspective, on steadiness amid complexity.
