My work has progressed in media from trompe l'oeil silverpoint and
graphite/watercolor/collage drawings to handcolored lithographs and etchings (begun in 1980).
Many of the prints are expressed in series and collected in folios and boxes. From these
three-dimensional pieces has evolved my present focus on artist's books as art object. Most
are limited editions--some are unique, incorporating various combinations of the
aforementioned media with handmade papers, found objects, pen and ink, Xerox, collage,
stamps, stuffed animals, preserved insects, etc. If I can't find an object I need, I make it out
of clay, wood, papier-mâché, or other malleable materials. I place my work in no particular
"movement," although its literary aspect which has always been concerned with pun-entitled
parodies of nature, art history, and the old masters, generally reflects my interest in Dada.
The book allows me to pull past work together in a more refined expression with definite
statements and explore new ways with which to voice them
Unique copy. Consists of 58 quotations rendered in pen and ink and illustrated with postage
stamps which have been color xeroxed and perforated on a sewing machine, then torn to
resemble actual stamps.
Limited to an edition of five copies.
