Description
-
An edition of 30 copies, with 2 artist's proofs. ; During a single signal cycle at Gion intersection on March 17th, 2016 in Kyoto, Japan, dozens of people and cars passed each other with no lasting memories. Every seven seconds within that cycle, photographic images recorded this series of happenstance moments. The images were then reproduced and fragments removed, symbolizing how memories and events gradually recede from our awareness--Artist's statement, 23 Sandy Gallery website (accessed February 26, 2018). ; Leaves of Mitsumata Japanese paper have been inkjet printed with altered photographic images, letterpress printed with text, and treated with bees wax. Leaves are bound with the artist's original variation on the accordion technique, using paper tabs to attach leaves to a Japanese Harukaze paper cover and concertina structure. The binding is also treated with bees wax. Laid into a four-flap paper wrapper with rubber cord closure. Colophon is letterpress printed inside the paper wrapper.
