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. Rarely is any part produced using digital methods, and if so it is clearly indicated, and only when no other options were available.
