Artist Books

Each of the artist books in this new series represents an idea, thought, complaint, or question that I needed both words and images to express.  The photographs were all taken in northeastern Louisiana.  They are bound together in these collections to create something else, something more than I imagined when I first pressed the shutter.  It's only with time that they have sorted themselves out of their initial pigeonholes and, along wiith a small amount of text, found new stories to tell.

The books are crafted using similar materials to my original prints ... carbon pigment inks on thick cotton paper.  Mulberry, lotka or other similar natural handmade papers are used for the covers.  The pages are printed, allowed to dry for several days, sprayed to make them more durable then hand bound using linen thread.  They measure approximately 5x7 inches.

Two books are being released in late 2010 with more to follow in 2011.
