About the Author
Gaby Bazin grew up on France's Mediterranean coast. She graduated from the Arts Décoratifs de Paris (Printed Image Department) in 2015. After traveling to Italy and the Czech Republic to learn typographical printing and bookbinding, she settled in Saint-Denis. She has been working there within the collective La Briche Foraine since 2015. Her work explores the richness of printing and its history. The relationship between the written word and the image is the guiding thread of her practice.
Vineet Lal is a literary translator working from French to English. He has translated several well-known French authors, including Guillaume Musso, Michel Bussi, and Grégoire Delacourt, along with a number of books for younger readers. He studied French at Princeton University and the University of Edinburgh, and lives in Scotland.
