The other day, Harriet Bruce came by the studio.

Harriet did a residency at Mazzotti Books in 2019.
It culminated in a collaborative project, I Do I Undo I Redo, which went on to win the International Bookbinding Competition.

The residency programme started a year earlier, in 2018. The intention was simple.

Open the studio.
Invite new perspectives.
See what happens.

Since then, it has brought in people with very different ways of thinking and making. Each one leaves something behind.

The image above is a woodcut Harriet made earlier this year in Oaxaca.
A calendar. Wood, ink, time, pressure.

The visit turned into a conversation.
Then into a direction.

Something new is beginning to take shape.

The studio does that sometimes.

It brings people together.
That’s where things begin.
