This triangular accordion artist's book is an Americanized play on one of the most well-known koans of Zen Buddhism. It reads here: "When you meet the Buddha on the road, driving a Chevy, kill him!"
Triangular accordion book: 5 x 5.7 inches (13 x 14.5 cm), closed; 5 x 42 inches (13 x 107 cm), extended. Printed on 250 gm 100% rag paper. Bound in paper-covered boards with ribbon tie closures. Signed and numbered. Edition of 35.
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.
