Dan Elliott • Hellbox Pie (Feet) • 15” x 15” • Letterpress and Handset Metal Type Dan Elliott explores letterpress printing and mixed media to create designs that he describes in contradictory terms: clean and messy, clear and abstract, simple and complex. Based in North Carolina, Elliott’s work is largely influenced by the history of art and graphic design from the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th-century and avant-garde styles of the early 20th-century to Gutenberg’s first moveable type press.
