Bibliophilia

Meliors Simms - Poet, letterpress printer, artist with a passion for making things by hand from paper and textiles.

My poetry and art is inspired by the natural world around me, the soul's journey to an open heart and domestic work as meditation.

Casey is dedicated to the noble cause of elevating the term 'cunt' to its rightful place as a descriptor of things warm and lovable - not offensive - through craft or any other means.

"The lo-fi crappiness of my work gives it an ephemeral, fleeting beauty. Also I rarely make many of an item because I get bored too easily. So not only will the item not last long, there won't be many of them in the first place making them extremely rare and therefore ultra-desirable." Genius.
