Artist’s Books & Bindings 3

Curiosa, 1998, Tunnel book, inkjet printed with hand-colored laser printed clip art. This book has been modified and revisited a few times throughout the years.

Typography Series #1, 2000 (edition of 14) $200

Leporilllo style accordion book with color laser prints from original photographs. Images are layered to re-create the overwhelming consumer jungle context in which words find themselves on the shelves of the mega-mart. The front side is contrasted with single letterpress printed words drawn from brand names...bounce, future, etc.

Letters/Lessons c. 1996, edition of 14 (sold out) One of my first editioned works and still one of my favorites. Inkjet printed discs hinged into a boustrophedon that folds up into a can enclosure.

Nancy Kelly Sheppard, 1999 edition of 10 (sold out)

This book started when I found two photographs at an antique store. I was immediately awestruck by Nancy Sheppard's beauty and poise while perched on a horse barreling around a rodeo arena. Thrilled to see her name and address on the back of the photos from the 50's, I wrote to the address on the chance that I might get more information. I got a phone call from Nancy, who graciously granted permission to use her photos in a book work and even sent more for me to include.
