LEPIDOPTERA

This crown folio size book consists of 9 aquatint etchings, woodcuts, chine collé, plus letterpress and screen prints, 15 x 11.5 inches, (38 x 29.25 cm) on 250 gm deckle edge rag paper, quarter case binding. The total edition of the print artwork is 13, with 6 being bound into the books and the remaining 7 reserved for the flat edition. Books are signed and numbered from I - VI. Pages in the front and end matter carry lines from Rumi and Inayat Khan.

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.
