RED, YELLOW, BLUE
2000
I was invited to be a visiting artist at the
University Of The Arts in the book arts/printmaking department and
spent my time in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts where I
created an artist book in an edition of 500. The book was printed by
master printer Lori Spencer on a Heidelberg KORS one-color press.
Each texture, as seen on the final page, was
printed first in black on mylar using linoleum cut, cut foam rollers,
and film pencils. These masters created in my studio were then exposed
to the photo emulsion covered plates. Five different colors required
five individual press runs for each side of the interior pages of the
book. The cover required four press runs, double-sided.
The pages were then trimmed on an electric
guillotine and the folding was done by hand at my studio.Twenty percent
of the edition was kept by the UArts and I instructed a group of
graduate students in the assembly process.
The last one hundred books in the edition are
reserved for installations.
