2009

5" x 5.5" x 1.5" (stretches to 30")

Hand made book in a double star binding containing linocut prints, etchings, and lettering created with a typewriter.


Looking at past, present, and future most people are drawn to uncovering the mysteries of yesterday or discovering the promise of tomorrow. I have always been much more interested in the elusive present. A moment that is only in the present for an indescribably short amount of time before immediately becoming apart of the past.

The book "I Used to Wear Diapers" is an autobiography that starts in the past and ends in the projected future. By illustrating what lay behind and before me it shows a snapshot of who I was- a snapshot that was drifting into the past even before the book was completed.

Etchings used in book:

Thank you! The etchings were lots of fun to print together and cut out.

Wow! Great book! I am trying to do a similar thing with an accordion-fold binding book on which I taped my linocut prints. I'm still working on the prints, actually in the midst of carving my last page, and I'll definitely try to post it when they're all printed and done. Great minds think alike?

Awesome- I can't wait to see it!

Taped... the archivist and bookbinding purest in me wants to know what you mean by taped?

It's almost done! Should finish the last page by Monday and have it all together by next Friday cause I found a place to print. :)

I temporarily used masking tape to attach each print to the accordion fold pages (on the back).

May I suggest that you use PVA or wheat paste to tip in your prints instead of masking tape? Masking tape is very acidic and the adhesive will stain through your prints as well as harden and start flaking off.

Would you mind sending me a link? I'm not sure what those materials are and I've never used them. :/
