Abecedarium n. nucifera
Pied letterpress types in 2 colors, hand coloring, folds to 3.25 x 3.25 x .5 inches, (8.25 x 8.25 x 1.3 cm) and blooms to 5 x 9 x 9 inches, (13 x 23 x 23cm). A golden half-moon-shape clip keeps the flower together while displayed. Housed appropriately: in a jewelry box. There is an edition of 20 with pink-tipped petals and a secondary edition of 12 in white. 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.
