Twelve poems by Jeremy Sigler. Images & one poem by Jessica Stockholder.

Numbers 16 through 30 come with a sculptural wall unit created by the artist.

This book is the result of a two-year collaboration between poet Jeremy Sigler, artist Jessica Stockholder, nd master printer Ruth Lingen. The images were made using lithography, transfer, letterpress, digital, collage and hand colouring. The artist etched the litho images directly onto the plates. The type is Bulmer, with various metal and wood sans serifs, all hand set. The paper is Somerset and vintage Coloraid with vrious mylars and Jean Tetan plastics.

The book rests on the sculpture made of yellow plastic and painted with blue and a red sculptural overlay. Two green brass handles are fitted to the yellow base. The book is bound with visible linen strips onto binders board which also fix it to the base of blue balsa wood.
