Chad
started out this mad adventure in fine books innocently enough. It was
back in the 80's and he was finishing up his undergrad work in
printmaking with an emphasis in engraving and mezzotint when a
professor showed the class a book structure. Taken with the idea, Chad
started putting his smaller prints into book form, toying with pop-ups
made from prints and windows through pages. It wasn't long before the
idea of words popped into play and hmmm, how does one do that on Rives
BFK anyway? Well one thing led to the next and before long Deep Wood
Press was born when Chad found his shack on the Cedar River and built
the beginnings of his studio. All these past years and plenty of distractions later Chad is still working at his prints. Some of them still find their way into book form but all along they've existed on their own and sell as individual pieces in galleries and shows across the country. Here are a few for starters and many more will be added to this part of the site as time permits.
