Driven by a necessity of a physical space uniting people in an increasingly digital world, the Aesthetic Union takes pride in providing a space for community. James Lewis Tucker produces limited edition prints that investigate traditional landscape inspired by the California Coast. James is passionate about keeping the tradition of letterpress alive while also utilizing modern processes which has helped the Aesthetic Union remain a hub for art, craft and design within a shrinking community of creatives in San Francisco.
“It’s terribly emotional and romantic. It has a smell. It has a sound. It has a rhythm to see the wheel’s spinning and all the pistons going back and forth.”
