serial artists’ book in twelve episodes
Each booklet has a cover and two folios; the cover is letterpress printed on the outside. The inside cover as well as the two middle folios are printed with risograph, and sometimes the additional stencil or stamp. Binding is pamphlet stitch with hand dyed or partially hand painted linen thread to match the vibrant riso colors.
All twelve booklets are housed in a screenprinted clamshell box that has the shape of a trapezoid (NFS), echoing the original artists’ book. The simple pamphlet binding allows design binders to create an original fine binding uniting the twelve booklets or collectors to exhibit the booklets nested together vertically.
