This is an artist's book take about driving and working in greater LA. Quote from the Tao de Ching. Mounted photographs and letterpress text using Cromwell types. Printed on heavy 335 gm Coventry rag paper.
The title is cut from a LA street map with screen-printed covers, wrapped in shimmer book cloth. Measures 8 x 6.5 x 1.25 inches when closed with a cigar-band-like strip (20 x 16.5 x 3 cm); when displayed 8 x 70 x 6 inches (20 x 178 x 15 cm). Edition of 11 copies, numbered and signed.
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.
