Sean Caulfield: "'Watercircle' was produced through a collaborative process between Sean Caulfield (visual artist), Case Caulfield (writer), and Sue Colberg (book designer). To initiate the work, Sean Caulfield drew thematic inspiration from the North Saskatchewan River, which is a major feature in the landscape of Treaty 6 Territory and is the historical and contemporary heart of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In reflecting on the landscape shaped by the river, Sean Caulfield created a large-format linocut that explored themes of ecological change and regeneration of the landscape and the individuals who inhabit it. Like much of Caulfield's relief print work exploring… Read More

Watertown, Massachusetts:: Marcia Ciro,, 2021.. Edition of 25. 2.25 x 3" miniature, extends to 18 x 11.25". Snake fold construction. Original photographs digitally printed on recycled paper. In printed sleeve. Signed and numbered by the artist. Marcia Ciro: "Like many, I have felt the push and pull from this chaotic pandemic event of 2020-2021, where information changed daily and no one knew what was on the way. At the same time, many of us found solace in the outdoors, which, really, was the only place we could go for a while. My book combines the chaos with nature to express the feelings of uncertainty and fear that we have all experienced over the last year and a half, and a little comic relief at the pandemic's expense.

Watertown, Massachusetts:: Marcia Ciro,, 2000.. Edition of 25. 6 x 10" closed; 18 x 10 x 6" open. Digitized photos and digital illustrations. Text printed with pigmented inks on Weber-Valentine paper. Housed in a printed Mohawk Superfine paper wrapper. Marcia Ciro: "Ah, the road trip, that quintessential American activity. This flag book focus is on the seductiveness of the man-made auto environment, and how our drive to keep moving isolates us from the sensory impact of just 'being' in a place. The interior reveals a southwestern landscape through rear-view mirrors. On a closer inspection, staccato phrases from the car interior contrast with phonetic words that slowly explore the exterior environment. The outside of the book shows a parked car and a rich, inviting place - our reward for having stopped to smell the roses.

Watertown, Massachusetts:: Marcia Ciro,, 2005.. Edition of 8. Three books 6 x 5" closed. Each book opens to 30". Photographs and text printed archival inkjet on Moab paper. Housed in a oval shaped cloth wrap box, open ended. Paper ttile on front in vertical format. Marcia Ciro: "Caring for an aging and ill parent brings a final end to youthful notions of immortality. This book explores dying as a thing not to be feared, but as a welcome release. Playing on the word terminal, meaning 'end' and 'part of an airport,' and using nighttime images of a plane taxi-ing down a runway, the three books in this series progress from words of ending to words of home, as the plane takes off for the heavens. The bookcloth-covered container enfolds the books, while the shape looks like a cross-section of an airplane wing.

Watertown, Massachusetts:: Marcia Ciro,, 2000.. Edition of 25. 2.625 x 3.75" closed in 3 x 4.5 x 2.5" box. Ten books of digitized photos and original text printed with archival inks on Red River paper. Housed in a paper-covered box. Many of my books explore the difference between the familiar and the exotic, and the dichotomy between personal habits and foreign customs. In the set of accordion books, *TravelRiffs*, each book takes a series of pictures and "riffs" on them as you would a melody. The text itself, between the first and second sides, introduces an idea from the first side, like the first stanza of a song, and then completes the 'riff', leading the viewer to the second side, like a chorus."

Colophon: "Nine adventurous intellectuals embarked upon the journey of designing an artist book. Our goal was to construct a tome so powerful, so wondrously provocative that you would be overcome with emotion. In our creative journey, we have transformed luxurious materials into a glorious printed book with techniques that have been fervently taught at Scripps College for decades. We sullied our bare fingers with forest green, teal, electric blue and purple in the pursuit of our formidable goal. Our charmingly vintage Vandercook presses were our closest allies throughout the process." … Read More

Towards the end of that period, they were given to his friends Alexandre Istrati and Natalie Dumitresco, around 1947. They in turn, continued to use them in their daily life. Eventually all these implements… Read More

Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. That same day, the official White House website (whitehouse.gov) began the digital transition to archive and replace Obama's policies with those of the new administration. Immediately, people began to notice that key issues such as health care, education, and immigration were nowhere to be found. Keyword searches for terms such as "climate change," "LGBT," and "civil rights" all returned 404 errors. Even more conspicuously, the Spanish-language version and the disabled-accessible version of the site were no longer available.  Internet Archive, a non-profit digital… Read More
