Category Archives: Refounding Golgonooza

I just had a visit last week from Nancy Stock-Allen, Editor of Design Traveler magazine, and she did an interview with me  to publish for Woman’s History Month on  her on line magazine. We talked for a good while at my exhibit in Brattleboro, VT “The Whole Art of Language,” and then she and her [...]

I am beginning to work with Jane Noyes to notate the history of the Golgonooza Letter Foundry & Press starting with the Boston years then moving on to the first 10 years in New Hampshire. I hope to make several related volumes. We are working together, with her interviewing me and asking questions and us [...]

  Below is my column from Vermont Views for anyone who has not gone there. http://www.vermontviews.org/vermontviews.org/in_between.html Between: I begin this column with the concept of between-ness There are many forms of in-between ­­— the dusk between night and day, that time when we have completed something or left something behind, and have not yet begun [...]

  I just this past week had the pleasure to observe some street typography that I liked. Joshua Farr, Gallery Director for the Vermont Center for Photography had made a tasteful, dynamic sign out of cardboard for a Popup Gallery on the weekend of Gallery Walk in Brattleboro, VT. This has inspired me to show [...]

For the uncharted future ahead I will be searching for the direction of the Press as my sole source. This comes with me galvanized to step lightly into the unknown, unafraid [...]

  I am starting a regular column on Vermont Views Magazine. It will be interesting to see where the conversation goes.   http://vermontviews.org/vermontviews.org/in_between.html

I am starting to work on a new project about the history of the press, that I will format (hopefully) into a  commercial and a letterpress version. I am making the template for the page size, and it will incorporate photos taken by myself and also Dan Carr, my late partner.  

  Thanks to my friend Brandon Caldwell who donated his time to help transform things here once again. He constructed, single handedly, a stone stair behind Golgonooza to access the hill and some special stones there. Dan and I tried to plant an orchard there of apples, a pear and a cherry years ago (back [...]

I am working on the last stages of a group of books, (making the cases), for the edition of The Reach of the Heart. This Friday is the opening for the second month showing of The Presses of Golgonooza at the David Walter Gallery, with the Brattleboro, VT gallery walk starting at 5:30.     [...]

I am working with a friend to scrape, prime and paint the front door of Golgonooza to help revive the good energy. I am renewing its color with a new coat of paint. Thank you to my friend and aide, BI. This got done during the last warm day of October so far.
