These last few weeks I’ve been busy, working late and generally staying out of trouble with a wonderful project – I’ve been printing an edition of photogravures for Alec Soth of his image Enchanted Forest (36), Texas. It’s published by the Walker Art Center to coincide with Alec’s exhibition From Here to There: Alec Soth’s America, which opens September 12th. The show is curated by Siri Engberg. Follow this link to find related events at the Walker.

UPDATE: There’s a wonderful interview with Alec by Bartholomew Ryan, the assistant curator, here. And if you ever get the chance to, you should see the documentary Somewhere to Disappear by film-makers Laure Flammarion and Arnaud Uyttenhove who drove around America with Alec on three trips, covering 20,000 miles.
