Jim Sannerud | Grand Marais, Minnesota
Steel, wood, lead type, milk paint, Prismacolor, linseed oil, beeswax 2.25 x 6 x 6 inches | 5.7 x 15.24 x 15.24 cm


The steel base represents a letter press printing chase, which is a form to hold type and furniture.
Within the chase are three benches that represent the low wooden blocks called "furniture" (letter press nomenclature) that secure the lead letter type.

Bench, form and creepie are three different forms of vernacular dialect from the British Isles describing the same kind of furniture.

Form (variant spelling forme) is the collective term for the assembled chase, furniture (wooden blocks) and lead letter type that's ready to print.

Once printed it becomes content.
