Encountered by Russell Maret while daydreaming in his studio and here explored with the aid of Multichromatic letterpress.

This book consists of five short texts about the difficulties of describing and reproducting color, each of which is paired with an illyustration. As the title suggests, the book is a whimsical project that frew out of my 'General Color Theory' in Aethelwold Etc. In it I continue my recent exploration of alternatives to the photopolymer image-making techniques that I have been using for the last eight years. One hundred copies printed on Zerkall paper, cound by Craig Jensen, and housed in a plexiglass slipcase.
