| Item Description: | Edition of 25. Housed in a clamshell box enclosure made by the artist. Letterpress title page and epigraph by Robert Lax. "Punctuated Weaving is a suite of five letterpress sheets by Alexandra Janezic. Inspired by the process of weaving, each print is composed of individual lines of punction repeated to create a sense of woven work, textually"--CPS Invoice. "Punctuated Weaving looks to imbue letterpress printing with a meditative property, to make a 'drawing' of the physical time spent printing. Static lines of metal type are constructed to create images imitating the irregularities of fabric. The prints serve as a timeline of the artist's decisions and movements, emphasizing the repetition involved in creating a series of multiples"--CPS Invoice. Each line of type is printed individually, thus each sheet required on the order of 40 press runs, press runs. Each print in the series was at least 40 press runs. All aspects of design and construction of the piece were performed by the artist (i.e. designing, printing, binding)"--CPS Invoice." The Cushing Library/Lowman/Book Design copy is number8. Purchased for the Al Lowman Printing Arts Collection and Research Archive by The Cushing Library. |
