Timely, well-crafted accordion-style book with a center section unfolding in a flag-like manner. Printed letterpress on 280 gm archival printmaking paper, using Antiqua Book types, partially struck-out, flanked by two original cyanotypes. Wrapped covers with cyanotype inlay and hot-foil titles. The book measures open 10.675 x 7 x 0.5 inches (27 x 18 x 1.25cm), and closed 10.675 x 55 x 0.5 inches (27 x 140 x 1.25 cm). Hand-printed and bound in a signed edition of only 16 copies.
My artist books, broadsides, and loose-leaf editions are published in very small numbers, as low as five. All are hand-printed and hand-bound (in the case of books) by me, all are signed and numbered. While I am trying to be perfect, I am human, not a machine. Some variations in the editioned work are to be expected due to the processes, materials, and the artist’s change of mind. It is exactly what makes the work collectible: each piece is an original work of art. The pieces employ printmaking like original etchings, woodcuts, carborundum, screen prints, monotype, monoprint, and letterpress. Rarely is any part produced using digital methods, and if so it is clearly indicated, and only when no other options were available.
