STEPH MASTORIS
Bio
Steph Mastoris is a Swansea-based typographic artist who uses traditional letterpress techniques. His work is concerned with the power and elegance of letter- and word-forms. Steph is also interested in exploring the subtleties of language where punctuation, form and layout can change or create ambiguities of meaning. More subtly, Steph uses small typographic triptychs to draw attention to the three-dimensional quality of language that arises when similar-sounding words and the different silences between them are exhibited in plain, hand-printed type.
Steph Mastoris was born in Cardiff, studied at London University and has worked in museums in Nottingham, Leicestershire and Wales. He has exhibited at various galleries in Swansea, Bath, Nagoya & Kyoto Japan, Venice, and Ottawa.
