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. Rarely is any part produced using digital methods, and if so it is clearly indicated, and only when no other options were available.
