Editions, a studio for producing artist book multiples At Editions, we see books as a sculptural method for storing and sharing information. More than text, they are also visual images, unfolding pages, sequences of ideas, unusual bindings and molded cases. "Heaven knows I've tried to make conventional books," reports Ed Hutchins. "But every time I start, illustrations pop off the page, pages unfold like origami, and letters take three dimensional shape." We don't have a traditional printing press so we've turned to non-traditional methods like rubber stamps, cast images, block printing, photocopying and flash-bulb stencils to reproduce our messages. We also use materials found close at handscrap paper, museum board, stickers, candy containers, candle molds, dowels, key chains, industrial scrapsto create our books. Please browse our pages and explore the alternative fringe of bookmaking. And drop us a message and let us know what you think! Silent Story Books Specializing in woodcut novels by Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward, Laurence Hyde, Clement Moreau, Otto Nuckel, and Giacomo Patri. We are always searching for unknown woodcut novel artists and contemporary artists who work within this genre. In addition to individual book sales, we are always interested in trading or purchasing collections of woodcut novels or any adult wordless stories told in linoleum cuts, drawings, lithographs and wood engravings. | |
