Description:
We, as artists, used our work to initiate a conversation with Emily Dickinson. Our finished book is a three-person collaboration: Emily Dickinson and the two of us ... each used one half of a piece of paper to produce an image, to which the other person responded with an image of her own on the opposite side ... Immediately we each developed a way of approaching our work: one of us used as an entry point Richard Sewall's two-volume biography of Emily Dickinson, the other Dickinson's poems. The bright, witty, loyal friend who emerged is clearly not the recluse of popular myth. In all we completed 12 collaborative images. Font: Imprint MT Shadow, 12 point. Cover: Davey board with Asahi white weave spine and Natsume white cover paper. Title is gold stamped. End/fly sheets are handmade Thai mango paper. Text and imagery are printed on Lanaquarelle 90lb hot pressed paper using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer and 8-color Epson Ultra Chrome K3 ink. Original images are mixed media and paper added to a single piece of Stonehenge paper ... Images were scanned and sequenced for the final book. Some images and responses stayed together; others are separated and spaced throughout the book. Bound by Mary McCarthy ... housed in custom made ... suede open front box with button and silk tie close. Box opens to book laid in on the left side and an original collage used as the art which was scanned and bound with the poems by Emily Dickinson ... There are 25 images reproduced in with the text of 12 poems ... The low-relief creations, made from 'left-over' materials that could easily have been overlooked or forgotten completely, are subtle reminders of the author herself. Emily Dickinson created some of the best-known and best-loved verse in the English language. The details of her life, however, are known through her few surviving letters and recollections of friends and family. The few physical elements associated with her are visually represented in this book ... juxtaposed with her verse.
