Irwin’s projects range from object based inquiries, installation and performance based works, to publishing imprints, and long term collaborations. His practice is rooted in his experience working as a commercial printer for almost 20 years. Over time, Irwin has developed an art practice that utilizes printmaking as a method for artistic inquiry, with an interest in cultural anthropology and the role of artistic production in the service economy. Irwin has printed alongside notable artists in Chicago and New York as well as spent time working in community printshops such as Bushwick Print Lab (Brooklyn) and Chicago Printmakers Collaborative. Currently Irwin engages in both personal and client based projects though his studio Bitmap Press.
