Book Installation of seven folded paper strips, printed letterpress, submerged in water glasses; optical distortion and light refractions depending on the viewer’s angle of observation; displayed on blackened pine blocks. The installed piece measures 15 x 10.5 x 10.5 inches (38 x 26.5 x 26.5 cm); edition of 5, signed and numbered.
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. Nothing is produced using digital reproduction methods.
