Roselupin Press is the publishing project of Eliza Strong, named for Roselupin, a children’s book character who knits herself a red wolf suit and subsequently becomes an actual red wolf.
Roselupin Press work is primarily letterpress printed, but incorporates other techniques including risograph and digital printing and papermaking. With Roselupin Press, Eliza is interested in exploring and unraveling processes of social and cultural reproduction, using collective memory, queerness, and ‘madness’ as guides.
Outside of her personal artistic practice, Eliza works as an Intern at the CODEX Foundation and the Senior Collection’s Associate for The MKA Collection: A Living Library of Book Arts. She has also contributed research, cataloging, curatorial assistance, and writing to organizations including Printed Matter, Booklyn, and Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture. She has published writing in publications including The Blue Notebook: Journal for artists’ books, What is a Book?: Artist’s Books by Beldan Sezen, and the PNW Conceptual Art Center.
