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. Nothing is produced using digital reproduction methods.
