A long accordion book employing a
boustrophedonic writing style, including an 180-degree rotated pale-colored repeat, which is only fully readable when viewed obliquely.The pages are made up of overlapping panels allowing for easy accordion fold while staying flat when fully opened - essential for the all important oblique viewing angle.
10 pages with title and colophon plus covers. The closed book measures 7.625 x 5.5 x 0.75 inches (19.5 x 14 x 2 cm), and when open 7.625 x 54.125 inches (19.5 x 142 cm).
Screen-printed on Swedish Lessebo paper in 2 colors, letterpress-printed colophon. Boards wrapped in Indian hand-made paper, printed in an edition of only 8 copies, 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.
