Book Installation of seven folded paper strips, printed letterpress, submerged in water glasses; optical distortion and light refractions depending on the viewer’s angle of observation; displayed on blackened pine blocks. The installed piece measures 15 x 10.5 x 10.5 inches (38 x 26.5 x 26.5 cm); edition of 5, 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. Rarely is any part produced using digital methods, and if so it is clearly indicated, and only when no other options were available.
