Artist Statement

Alexandra Janezic is a visual artist and letterpress printer. She is interested in the intersection between text and image, particularly where text has the potential to become image. Her most recent work is a series of letterpress printed ‘weavings,’ using punctuation to create images reminiscent of woven textiles. Alexandra strives to use simple materials: paper, ink, and metal type, to create forms which describe the complicated patterns of humanity. Her work is an exploration of mark making, using the tools humans have developed to communicate and distribute language.
