David Armes

David Armes is an artist working with print, language and geography. His work is frequently site-specific and often considers how place shapes understanding. As a lifetime geographer, he is especially interested in borders, liminality and zones of contested space/use. He works primarily with letterpress printing on paper and makes artist’s books, prints and installations. Through using what was once an industrial process, he is intrigued by where the multiple meets the unique, where the ephemeral meets the archival.
