The Church and the Hospital (Fall, 2008) $50

This book was printed using the band Umbrella Tree’s lyrics from the album “The Church and the Hospital”. The book is bound flatback style using a ¼ cloth spine and handmade paper that has been marbled and painted over thinly using paste and acrylics. Text paper is Frankfurt cream, and the two gatefolds are handmade paper. The type has been set digitally using Polipholis and Polipholis Small Caps typefaces. Images throughout the book are from personal family archives from my father’s side. Again, the images relate to one or two lyrics in a connected but not overly predictable fashion. Sketches in the form of scratch negatives were made into photopolymer plates and printed over several of the photographs to further question the book’s traditional influences.

Patrons: Reflections of Our Namesakes (Spring, 2008) $35

This chapbook was created in collaboration with other Orthodox Christians. Four writers (including myself) wrote a brief statement, thought, or prayer, regarding their relationship to their patron saint. Handmade paper was used for half the edition’s covers, and all of the center French door fold outs. The images were and text were created from the authors’ handwriting and ink drawn images of the saints. The ultimate purpose of this project was to increase understanding and awareness of Orthodox saints. Participating writers include: Stephanie Baker, Ephraim Zachary Gresham, Amy Elizabeth Brock, and Sophia Harner.
