Steven Daiber has worked with printmaking and artists books for more than thirty years. His work as a book artist reflects the influence of annual trips to Cuba since 2001. During the academic year of 2003-04 Steven and his family lived in Havana, Cuba for 10 months. In Havana he had the opportunity to work in eight different print shops with a variety of Cuban artists.
The Cuban books by Red Trillium Press reflect the mystery and realities of US-Cuba relations from Million Person March (2004) documenting the protest march against the Bush administration to Roiling Habana (2017) recording a week where both Obama and the Rolling Stones were in Havana. The palimpsest printing of La Acera (2015) creates personal mapping of the city that Daiber now sees as a second home.
