Vertical opening book, measuring 9 x 8.5 x 9.5 inches closed, (23x 22.5 x 1.25 cm), 18.25 x 8.5 x 0.5 inches, (46.5 x 22.5 x 1.25 cm) when open with nine cascading pages. The covers wrapped in hand-made Indian paper, and are Kraf-tex leather quarter-bound. Titles are screen printed while the other text is printed letterpress using Clarendon type on French BFK Rives rag paper with deckle edges. Hand-made, hand-printed. The edition size is just 15 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. Nothing is produced using digital reproduction methods.
