From a remote cabin off Canada's Pacific coast, Marian Bantjes has created a unique visual language that combines typographical craftsmanship, illustrative flair and personal observation. Her generous approach, meticulous attention to detail and wit have made her one of the most sought-after graphic artists of her generation. Presented loosely chronologically and with candid commentary throughout, this large-scale book traces Bantjes's fascinating trajectory from her early work as a typesetter to her adoption of digital technologies that push conventional print production to the limit.
