Editioned for the College Book Arts Association regional exchange in winter 2020-2021. The theme was environment/landscape/land acknowledgement, taking focus on the region we currently inhabit. I was influenced by the powerful concept of reciprocity as it relates to all life, with the Western redcedar (or “Tree of Life”) at the center.
Text is hand set in 30pt. Melior, designed by Hermann Zapf and cast by Stempel Foundry (Germany). Image is relief printed in three colors, including branches from a redcedar collected on a winter walk in the neighborhood. Printed on Classic Crest Eggshell 100#C.
