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. Nothing is produced using digital reproduction methods.
