Hardcover. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "My design endeavors to create 'Bokeh': the aesthetic quality of the soft blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Things may be seen in focus, but memories are often a reverie. Shanilec told me that while he was working with the photographs of flowers: "I became fixated with the blurred parts of the images, and the shapes that were formed there. Though the central flowers in the engravings are in focus, I paid as much if not more attention to the out of focus territory in the images. Thinking about it now, l suppose our lives, in retrospect, become a blur in our minds, except perhaps certain snap shots that retain some clarity, though I have read that memories are conjured up fresh each time we recall them-they tend to morph over time-so their accuracy becomes questionable. I have no problem with the idea that the bokeh may be a metaphor for a larger concept. I would consider that a winner." [artist statement]. Tight, bright, and unmarred.

Hardcover. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "Fall is The poet and artist, Sarah Plimpton, uses the verbal and visual imagery of flocks of swallows migrating south in the fall to conjure up the human condition. These migratory songbirds are small - with long pointed wings, and long tail streamers - and Plimpton suggests their form in strong lines and the occasional grouping of many tiny circles moving forward. The bright colors and stark forms on the black paper had an immediacy that inspired me to create a simple complimentary design using black leather and the flash of green inlays in varying depths, conveying a sense of swift motion." [artist statement] Juried into the Guild of Book Workers Triannual Traveling Exhibition 2021 - 2022. "The author uses the verbal and visual imagery of flocks of swallows migrating south in the fall. These migratory songbirds are small - with long, pointed wings, dark glossy-blue backs, red throats, pale underparts and long tail streamers. The author/artist suggests their form with strong lines and the occasional grouping of many tiny circles moving forward. Each page conveys a sense of swift motion. The author ends her verse with, "I said nothing / a sharp day of cold / on an empty sky" and the reader is left to consider the bleak season coming on. Once again, Sarah Plimpton employs nature, here fall migration, to conjure up the human condition. The use of silkscreens is particularly well done. The bright colors and stark forms on the black paper have an immediacy that almost makes the reader shiver. A wonderfully strong and moving book - perfectly executed - and a pleasure to view."

"The book was created by Brenda Gallagher in 2020 for the Guild of Bookworkers travelling exhibition "WILD/LIFE". All quotes are from the television sitcom "Schitt's Creek", created by Dan Levy and Eugene Levy. Black and white illustrations of sweaters worn by David Rose opposite one of his pithy quotes.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine in Fine Archival Box. Unique. Unique. Hardcover. "The events in story spiral wildly out of control with razor sharp wit and I wanted to play on the title with a whimsical cover. I have a huge jar filled with used razor blades from a machine that I use to pare leather and decided to secure these onto a leather cover. The leather staple binding style is a throwback leather bomber jackets and embossing the leather with sandpaper is a nod to the sand selling scheme in the story."
