Description

Title from character on cover panel. ; Materials used may include: brass, copper, maple wood, magnets, hinges, wood letterpress cuts. ; I am attracted to the technical and the relational qualities of combining objects and mediums together through book arts, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and metal smithing. Patterns begin to emerge and relationships form between different materials so that the viewer engages with the piece in a personal way. The inspirations for the letterpress books were my parents. My father painted landscapes in oil from barns and windmills to cows and cowboys. My mother tole painted and did decorative arts for many years. If it stood still long enough to paint it, she probably did. Both my parents grew up on farms in North Dakota, and they inspired the imagery that is on the letterpress books--Artist's statement, 23 Sandy Gallery WWW site, as viewed on June 3, 2016. ; Hinged covers open to reveal four etchings on copper or wood panels that form one scene of a farm with cows, and another of a cowboy rounding up cows near a windmill. On front cover is a copper plate of the character & and on the back cover is a metal plate of a rearing horse.
