This work is printed letterpress on hand-made chine collé Chinese Xuan paper, mounted on 100% rag with wrapped cover boards. Four shades of ink were used and the book measures 11.75 inches tall x 3.5 inches wide x 0.3 inches (30 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm) when closed, and displays open to 11.77 x 42 inches (30 cm x 106.5 cm). The edition size is 12, 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.
