(W)HERE?

This text-driven book uses a wordplay on the Buddhist notion that there is no 'there' – only a 'here.' Whenever one gets 'there' one is actually 'here.' There is no 'here' there and no 'there' here. Tomato, potato..., either, neither...

5.75 x 3.75 inches (14.5 x 9.5 cm) closed, extends to 24.5 x 15.5 inches (62.25 x 39.5 cm). Letterpress printed on 100% rag paper. Bound in paper-covered boards. Signed and numbered; edition of 25.

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.
