Art Prints

Bookbinding is my passion, and printmaking is my obsession. I am constantly challenging the limits of detail that I can achieve by carving into linoleum. I pull each print one at a time on antique presses and print on archival paper using offset lithography inks and colorfast pigments.

Anatomia libro

$35.00

A play on the reversal of anatomical dissection, Anatomia libro is a depiction of a book under the knife. The bookbinder is the anatomist and the bindery is the anatomical theatre. Components have been removed and layers have been flayed to show the book's construction. Several tools of the trade sit on a nearby table.
