Mme. C.

In honor of Madame Curie. The structure is folded into 15 sections with 9 of them letterpress printed, using the Frutiger type face, on thick translucent vellum, with a clear cover that opens to pop up the book’s structure and folds under during display. Edition of 10 copies only, signed and numbered. The book comes in its own slipcase. 

It measures 10.125 x 13 x .625 inches when closed (26 x 33 x 1.6 cm); displays open to 10.125 x 13 x 7 inches (26 x 33 x 18 cm).

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.
