Bookling #5: TIGER MOM
ABOUT BOOKLINGS
I named my handmade art books BOOKLINGS, like ducklings or darlings or other sweet things you want to hold. Each bookling features one story poem and is printed and made by hand in my studio.
ABOUT THIS BOOKLING
TIGER MOM is my fifth bookling in this series. It is a love poem to my son, but in many ways it’s a love poem to myself as a mother, and to any soft animal mother who is trying her best. Licking our wounds as we leap towards our babies. Fulll text can be read here.
Multiblock hand-carved, hand-pulled linocut cover
13 pages (acid- & lignin- free archival paper)
Hand-bound
Signed, dated, and numbered
Small batch, limited edition of 50 (when they’re gone, they’re gone!)
Due to its handmade nature, there will be slight variations of each bookling.
Sliding scale $65-90
Artist Proofs available for $150 (these are the rare first proofs, outside of the numbered edition. Signed and labeled accordingly.)
ABOUT SLIDING SCALE
Offering a sliding scale allows me to make my work available to people of diverse circumstances, as those with more resources help to subsidize my ability to offer work to those who have less. Working from a relationship model instead of simply a transactional one has worked best for me; I trust folks to choose a fair amount within the scale. Thank you for being honest with your budget to honor my time and skills!
