Description:
Tuscaloosa, Alabama:: Firebrand Press,, 2010.. Edition of 70. 6.75 x 6.875 x 1.25"; 3 books, each a single sheet folded. Two of the books open to 18 x 24" and one opens to 12 x 24". Images created using woodcuts and photopolymer plates. Housed in clamshell box. Text and illustrations by Lauren Faulkenberry. Firebrand Press: "This is a series of three books, titled Smolder, Galvanize, and Devour. With a structure similar to a map fold, each book is printed on a single 18" x 24" sheet that collapses to 6" x 6". "Based on the mythology of the Greek furies, this trilogy explores themes of heartache, longing, and obsession, and describes how it feels to be set aflame by another." The books and box can be arranged so that the cover drawings on each combine to form the image of a human heart.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama:: Down Home Girl Studio,, 2013.. Edition of 75. 8.75 x 8.25"; 24 pages. Letterpress printed on handmade paper of cotton and abaca fibers. Text and images were printed using photopolymer plates and reduction linoleum blocks. Fonts are Optima Bold and Gill Sans Light. Handbound in quarter-cloth with cover paper of handmade walnut dyed flax. 3.5 x 3.5" illustration inset of quilted papers, which were designed with the artist's mother. Suzanne Sawyer: "The legacy of quilting is ubiquitous in American history, so much so that it has lost some of the meaning it once held. But its history is rich and perhaps best typified in African American culture such as with the quilters of Gee's Bend. The quilters, descendants of former slaves living in rural Alabama, developed a unique, improvisational style of quilting using just remnants of clothing. Their quilts have become world renowned for their simple geometric patterns and have been compared to the work of modern…

Clothbound portfolio case closed with an elastic band. Linda J. Docherty, Catalog of the Exhibition: Threatened and Endangered: Artists' Books Created by Rebecca Goodale, 2004: "Four Maine Butterflies illuminates the fragile beauty of the natural world. It invites contemplations of differences among insects that appear, at first glance, similar. Goodale shows the intricate silhouettes and subtle markings that distinguish Edwards' hairstrea, Clayton's copper, hessel's hairstreak, and Katahdin Arctic. The butterfly forms are cut out and placed on decorative backgrounds inspired by their individual host plants. In the history of art, the butterfly symbolizes resurrection, and Goodale captures this hopeful quality. The insects pop up and hover over the pages, vibrating with life despite their endangered status.

Notes from Favole in Versi: "Giacomo Leopardi was born in Recanati on 29 June 1798, the eldest of 10 children of Count Mondaldo and Adelaide of the Antici marquises. In 1908 he wrote his first poem - the sonnet: 'La morte di ettore' - and other compositions in prose and verse. Between 1809 and 1812 he wrote what are defined as childhood poems or puerile critti. The childish writings are practically the preparation for his creative production, the one to which Giacomo Leopardi owes his fame. Among them are, among other things, some fables, which were widely published after his death. The fairy tale was a typically eighteenth-century…

Austin: Texas Writers Project, 2000. Original . Broadside. FINE. 24 x 36 inches, printed on high quality coated stock with metalic ink. Shipped- rolled in heavy tube. This fabulous poster was created especially for the featured author of Texas Writers Month in 2000 held in Austin, Texas by graphic designer Marc English. It is printed on heavy high quality coated stock in metalic inks: silver and bronze and laid over a duotone photograph of the rugged Big Bend country of West Texas. The poster quotes a long scene from McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN with drops of bronze red blood for emphasis. This is a stunning visual and carries the impact of the original text depicting a scene of horror as the savages line up on horseback along the ridge their glass beads and painted bodies caught forever in the sun's hot glare as they anticipate the massacre that would follow. Only McCarthy could make this scene so vivid you might have to put the book down and never finish it.
