Artist's book, one of 15 copies, all on Fabriano Tiepolo paper, each copy signed and numbered by the poet / artist / printer, Sarah Plimpton.

Ms. Plimpton's poem reads, "one eye / drawing circles / with fingers tightened / round like an hour / left / on the paper / for now". The text is set in Dante and printed with the help of Brad Ewing at The Grenfell Press in New York. Each page is an original aquatint on an ochre colored ground with the exception of the middle double page spread with is on a pale moss green ground with deeper green forms. Extremely organic, each page of images surround the word / words, almost devouring them (think Pac-man). The textures achieved in the aquatints belie their two-dimensionality. The plates were made and proofed by the artist at the Manhattan Graphics Center and editioned by Peter Pettengill. Ms. Plimpton's personal journey with forms and words is captivating.

She works in several media; oil painting, printmaking and artists' books and is also a poet. Her books are in such collections as The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The New York Public Library, The Morgan Library, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this handsome work, Plimpton illustrated each letter of the alphabet with a drawing and wrote a few poetic words for each on the page following. She did the original drawings for this during the Covid lockdown. She says: "When Covid came I was no longer able to get to my studio. I was forced to work at home.I had always wanted to paint the alphabet. Now I had the time - so in preparation for painting I drew every letter. I didn't have the intention to make a book but people liked the drawings so much that I went ahead and did the book after Covid was over. The comments after each letter in the book are perhaps more related to my view of the world than to Covid but I would never have made the book without Covid.When I was back in my studio I painted every letter on paper.I had a show at the June Kelly Gallery last year (2023) where all the painted letters were up on the wall." Set in Caslon 540 type and printed on Somerset paper. The images were printed by Erik Hougan at LESP and the text was printed by Brad Ewing at The Grenfell Press in NY. The book is softcover bound with a Coptic style binding and housed in a green clamshell box with black titling. Both were made by Claudia Cohen. In fine condition. Measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

Hardcover. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "Fall is The poet and artist, Sarah Plimpton, uses the verbal and visual imagery of flocks of swallows migrating south in the fall to conjure up the human condition. These migratory songbirds are small - with long pointed wings, and long tail streamers - and Plimpton suggests their form in strong lines and the occasional grouping of many tiny circles moving forward. The bright colors and stark forms on the black paper had an immediacy that inspired me to create a simple complimentary design using black leather and the flash of green inlays in varying depths, conveying a sense of swift motion." [artist statement] Juried into the Guild of Book Workers Triannual Traveling Exhibition 2021 - 2022. "The author uses the verbal and visual imagery of flocks of swallows migrating south in the fall. These migratory songbirds are small - with long, pointed wings, dark glossy-blue backs, red throats, pale underparts and long tail streamers. The author/artist suggests their form with strong lines and the occasional grouping of many tiny circles moving forward. Each page conveys a sense of swift motion. The author ends her verse with, "I said nothing / a sharp day of cold / on an empty sky" and the reader is left to consider the bleak season coming on. Once again, Sarah Plimpton employs nature, here fall migration, to conjure up the human condition. The use of silkscreens is particularly well done. The bright colors and stark forms on the black paper have an immediacy that almost makes the reader shiver. A wonderfully strong and moving book - perfectly executed - and a pleasure to view." [referring to the orginal work]. Tight, bright, and unmarred; housed in matching drop spine archival box. Binding sewn on five cords and laced on, covered in black Chieftain goat leather. Pastel and acrylic painted edge-to-edge paper doublures and fly leaves saturated with black gesso with green pastel marks made by binder. Japanese silk embroidered endbands. Hand-dyed and embossed kangaroo leather inlays and one onlay. Blind tooled and painted title on the recto. Natural edges. 4to. np. Illus. (colored plates). Numbered limited edition of 12, this being 7. Signed by Poet/Artist and Binder. Fine in Fine Drop-Spine Archival Box.
