GLENN LOWRY: Publisher/printer, Jacob Samuel
JACOB SAMUEL: I realized that by working in an artist’s studio far away from the control factors that I would have in my own studio, I was really abdicating responsibility to them, and that I was just letting go completely of control. But I found that I really liked working in this in-between unknown space of collaboration where I honestly didn’t know what was gonna happen.
So I think that the practice in the studio and the practice on the road began to dovetail. I just began to be able to break out of the pre-standard paradigm of a print publisher where the artist comes and stays for a week, and he makes some plates. I wanted to do something different with the medium. And I feel fortunate that a number of very, very fine artists were open to the possibilities of this suggestion.
