About This Item
Salt Lake City, Utah:: Marnie Powers-Torrey,, 2016.. Edition of 32. 4.75 x 6.75"; 14 pages including pastedowns. Letterpress printed from polymer and metal type. Bound in paper over boards with cloth spine. Signed and numbered by the artist. Marnie Powers-Torrey: "Edition of 32, the age of the artist when she became pregnant and gave birth to her second child, realizing that she'd never be the same again. "Work on this book began in 2006 in a workshop with the brilliant Julie Leonard, just after the birth of the artist's third and last child. After nine years of gestation, the book was finally released into the world. Imagery is derived from circular ink washes suggesting the cyclical nature of being, constancy of motion, revolving planets, ripe ovum, and lactating breasts. The text is experimental and broken, collected in haste throughout the early years of motherhood. Stripped of formality and exposing raw, maternal femininity, the words string together a visual poem of primal and authentic language. The book was printed in over fifty runs from polymer and metal type.
