SHEEP AND LION

This is a single-sheet sculptural book bearing a letterpress debossed text which says “The lion shall also lie with the sheep – but the sheep will be totally nervous”. Its simple shape contributes to its elegant display. Measures 6 x 6 x 5 inches (12.5 x 12.5 x 10 cm) when displayed, but is cut from a single, unglued sheet. The edition size is 24, which is split between white and cream-colored sheets. Three cream-colored pieces are shown here. All are 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.
