Artist Statement
The paper was hand coated with Fotospeed cyanotype solution and the images were printed on Zerkall 145gsm off-white paper using a UV self-contained exposure unit at East London Printmakers. The text was set in Filosofia and letterpress printed from polymer plates on Zerkall 145gsm and Tosa Washi 28gsm using a Vandercook SP15 at London Centre for Book Arts.
Hand sewn and bound in the style of bradel binding, and covered in Windsor Morton and Balmoral. The front cover has been blind debossed at two different pressures to show the shape of paper folding. The book is housed in a solander box covered in the same cloth with suede panels in Chamel Royal and Rose.
The edition is limited to 26 numbered copies.
