Inspired by the tremendous impact that the printed word has had on modern civilization, The Press declares freedom. Viewers can trace the path of force from the hand wheel to the page via proudly displayed mechanisms reminiscent of antique presses. This machine was designed to be hand inked and operated by a single person, producing one unique print at a time.
