Red Car

Red Car

I'm a car, a red one.
Not your favorite make
or model
but sturdy and reliable.

American made
probably older than
your oldest son,
I travel the back roads mostly.

Outdated but fuel efficient
I ramble.
Parts are getting scarce
and so are good mechanics.




Painting from Claribel's book "From Marina's Window".

Florence

Claribel and I have been invited to exhibit our books at Bucknell University next spring. We will be showing one of a kind books and editioned works along with our friend David Moyer of Red Howler Press. David is a wood engraver, artist, printer and all around master of the book arts. We collaborated on Archimedes last fall and have been involved in various projects together. Our thank you to Isabella O'Neill of Bucknell Special Collections for this opportunity.

I'll post a link to the exhibit when one becomes available. I'm posting images of Claribel's new one of a kind book, Florence, which she took to Florence, Italy this week to a painting conference. The book is constructed accordion style and the pages are hinged so the book may be viewed page by page or opened up up flat to be seen as a panorama.















Front cover

Sea & Sand

Our new book is Sea & Sand. It's comprised of a series of photographs Claribel sent me via cell phone while she was travelling about in February. The "sea" is the Pacific Ocean near Point Lobos, California and the "sand" in the Arizona desert. She has written short descriptive notes to accompany each photo.

The photos are digitally printed on Hahnemühle iBugra paper. The covers are paper over boards, handmade from various repulped scraps and the front covers each bear an original painting by Claribel. Sea & Sand is an "accordion" style format book published in an edition of ten copies.


Below is a photo of the covers and a selection of photos from the book.
