At
Editions, we see books as a sculptural method for storing and sharing
information. More than text, they are also visual images, unfolding
pages, sequences of ideas, unusual bindings and molded cases. "Heaven
knows I've tried to make conventional books," reports Ed Hutchins. "But
every time I start, illustrations pop off the page, pages unfold like
origami, and letters take three dimensional shape."
We don't have a
traditional printing press so we've turned to non-traditional methods
like rubber stamps, cast images, block printing, photocopying and
flash-bulb stencils to reproduce our messages. We also use materials
found close at hand--scrap paper, museum board, stickers, candy
containers, candle molds, dowels, key chains, industrial scraps--to
create our books.
Please browse our pages
and explore the alternative fringe of bookmaking.
Oh, the weather outside was frightful,
but at Editions, the work was quite delightful!
Village Voices was a premium designed for patrons who contributed to the Books in Black raffle. Each copy was hand-cut and stenciled in six colors.
Thanks to all who participated!
This seasonal five-panel tunnel book will be available for sale starting in September 2007.
