Sean Caulfield: "'Watercircle' was produced through a collaborative process between Sean Caulfield (visual artist), Case Caulfield (writer), and Sue Colberg (book designer). To initiate the work, Sean Caulfield drew thematic inspiration from the North Saskatchewan River, which is a major feature in the landscape of Treaty 6 Territory and is the historical and contemporary heart of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In reflecting on the landscape shaped by the river, Sean Caulfield created a large-format linocut that explored themes of ecological change and regeneration of the landscape and the individuals who inhabit it.

Dust Jacket Condition: As new. This book has been handled just enough to photograph and is pristine. Signed and numbered to the title page by the author (#16 of 25). Included with this limited edition is an original, one-of-a-kind, collage by the author.

The limited edition sold out very quickly in 2013 and hasn't been offered by the trade (that we've noticed) since then. Included with this offering is a Siglio Press Catalog for 2012/2013, a postcard announcing a reading by the author in New York City on May 31, 2013 at 192 Books (which, sadly, we missed), and finally "Siglio Ephemera #7" also… Read More

Glenview, IL: The Artist, 2006.. Double-sided variation on an accordion flag book (20.5 x 25 cm folded). Fine, in folding card case with artist's imprint and limitation statement. Copy #11 of 25 numbered copies, signed by Hanmer. Pigment inkjet prints on polyester film, with central printed card spines, which, when unfolded and extended, stands on its own as a whole. The work derives its inspiration from a passage in Cather's MY ANTONIA, which is printed on the tail piece in company with the formal limitation and Hanmer's signature: "Everywhere, as far as the eye could reach, there was nothing but rough, shaggy, red grass ... And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running." When unfolded, the imagery and potential kinetics of the piece replicate that impression. Hanmer is an award- winning binder and book artist whose works have been included in scores of exhibitions.

Used to manufacture plastics and resins for food and drink packaging, bisphenol A (BPA) impacts the endocrine system, impairing development and reproductive health of animals and humans. BPA analogues, including BPE and BPS, are similar reproductive toxicants with transgenerational effects. 19th century writers didn't know synthetic plastic would emerge in 1907 to change the world.

This book is in very good condition. There is minor wear on the dust cover and little to no wear at all on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. The pages are white, crisp and free of any markings. "Perhaps because it seems so close in time to our own experience, many art lovers feel a special kinship with the turn of the century. We speak of fin-de siecle artists almost as if we know them, and a large body of scholarly work exists covering nearly every conceivable aspect of the late nineteenth-century philosophy, sociology, and art. Given that, it is a rare and remarkable opportunity when one finds something new and unknown about the late 1800's, a privilege we at the Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition Service are pleased to share with everyone who reads this book and visits the exhibition Art Nouveau Bing...." - Foreword from Art Nouveau Bing: Paris Style 1900
