Unique foldout Artist Book by Barry McCallion. Fine in fine clamshell box. Penelope's Web - the making of an artist's book Barry McCallion "Penelope's Web is a work of weaving on many levels. The background story is familiar enough: twenty years have passed since the fall of Troy, but Odysseus has not returned to Ithaca. Convinced that he is dead, unruly suitors descend on his estate, make free with the wine, mistreat the servants, and reduce the farm flocks to barbeque. When the suitors insist that Penelope choose one of them to marry, she delays by weaving a shroud by day and undoing the work by night. The story of Penelope's attempt to deceive the suitors occurs three times - at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the poem. The story is told by three different characters. First by Antinous, one of the suitors, who is outraged and indignant over Penelope's "duplicity." Next, Penelope confides in the shabby wanderer (Odysseus in disguise) who has arrived at her door. Lastly, the ghost of Amphimedon, one of the slain suitors, upon reaching Hades, tells the story of Penelope's ruse to Agamemnon. Although the versions are widely spaced throughout the poem, each 'telling' mirrors the one before it and whole sentences are repeated. Antinous, Penelope, and Amphimedon may have different perspectives: one criticizes, one confides, and one laments, but they rely on the same narrative framework and use the same expressions. Homer, subtly turning from one narrator to another, is weaving and unweaving Narrative itself, using multiple voices and different perspectives to pull us back and forth through narrative time. I began the book by printing each of the speeches, first in black, then in drop-out type, on several colors of card stock. These printed texts were intended for collage and paper weaving. For the book's pages I chose sheets of heavy beige, brown, and red St. Armand paper. Where appropriate, I treated pages as looms by incising parallel lines, after which I cut the texts into long strips then wove the strips through the incised lines. Other pages were collaged with images and designs made from India ink drawings, metallic inks, acrylic paint, and rubber stamps of farm animals. Sometimes the printed word was legible, often (as in the woven pages) I reduced the text to an abstraction, and it became a pattern. I assigned each narrator twelve pages and began the sections with a handwritten copy of the speaker's speech. Antinous, the first to be heard, is a living suitor and, as such, has his mind on the worldly benefits of marrying Penelope. I collaged his pages using the objects of his desire: gold and silver coins, outlines of a female form, and the cutout rubber-stamp forms of farm animals. I wanted the viewer to feel his ambition, his sense of urgency, so I cut through some of the pages, supplying the viewer with a rear-view of what has gone before and a preview of what is to come. Penelope's twelve pages are quite different. While Antinous and the others go on with their riotous living, Penelope is trapped, a strong woman weakened by circumstance. Odysseus, her long-absent husband, is presumed dead and custom expects a widow to marry. Besieged by suitors, watching the estate's resources plundered, Penelope tells us her plan: "First a god gave me the inspiration to set up a great web on my loom. So, by day I used to weave the great web, but every night I had torches set beside it and undid the work." Her deception succeeds for three years, but eventually, a maid betrays her to the suitors and her ruse is discovered. Penelope presents a character in contrasts: she is beautiful and noble while her circumstances are degraded. I designed many of Penelope's pages in glittering color, but opposed the colors with a motif of interlocking rectangles and other images suggesting confinement and constraint. When I cut through Penelope's pages, the openings reveal a network of bars and blank walls. Each new 'view' opens onto further obstructions. I wove some text strips into a dense web, and separated others into individual words arranged along a tight, dizzying spiral. Her situation seems hopeless; she has no one to tell her misfortunes but the shabby old wanderer who, in chapter 19, asks merely for a place to rest. In despair, she ends her tale with the words: "And now I can neither evade marriage with one of them nor think of any means of escape." The theme of escape and confinement plays out in subsequent chapters as Odysseus shuts the palace doors, trapping the suitors inside the great hall. As they flee for their lives, the suitors form a great wheel of moving and falling bodies, a form I employed several times throughout the book. Amphimedon, our third speaker, is killed by Odysseus, arrives in Hades, and tells his story to Agamemnon. He accuses Penelope of concocting an elaborate plan to "bring about our downfall and our death." Agamemnon is an interesting choice of listener, having returned from the war in Troy years before, only to be the victim of a plot by his own wife. For Amphimedon's pages I conjured the dim, shadowed world of Hades. I removed the red paper used for the Antinous and Penelope sections and substituted a sheet of heavy, black paper. I further dulled the beige and brown pages with areas of gray acrylic paint, and stark black and white type. I drew outlines of a male figure that resembles the chalk outline at crime scenes. Hollowed-out and insubstantial, the splayed figure of Amphimedon tumbles through space. All is underworld: bleak, unregulated and untethered. Words form lines and swirl around the souls of the dead. Twisting and turning on the page, they take a meandering, somewhat aimless journey of their own. I.

The verso pages begin as a large emply circle where, page after page, images slowly accrete by the addition of common objects: a begging bowl, prayer beads, an arrow, a chair, a leaf, a cloud. The verso and recto pages face each other, developing and advancing as consectutive narratives, one visual and the other verbal. I used Richard de Bas cream wove paper for the endpapers and white Rives BFK paper for the text block. The drawings are made with India ink pens and brushed Winsor Newton metallic inks and colors.

Unique foldout Artist Book by Barry McCallion. Fine in fine clamshell box. Signed and dated by the artist on the colophon page. Collage and text handwritten in French and English. From the colophon: "Arthur Rimbaud wrote Le Bateau Ivre in 1871 when he was seventeen years old. Four years later, at the age of twenty-one, he gave up writing altogether. For a while he wandered the world, finally arriving in Abyssinia where he hoped (unsuccessfully) to make his fortune trading coffee and guns. Severely ill and returning to France, he reached Marseilles where he dies of cancer. Rimbaud, then thirty-seven years old, was unaware that he was being acclaimed in Paris as the greatest poet of his time. Samuel Beckett, himself an émigré from Ireland to France, translated The Drunken Boat in 1932. My treatment of the poem is made with India ink, acrylic paint and collage on Richard de Bas cream wove paper. The book cover is linen over boards with a linen presentation box.

First Edition
Condition: Very Good. This is a very early and scarce work by noted book artist, Barry McCallion. Mr. McCallion has had a lengthy career in the book arts following his graduation from Columbia and move to the west coast for a period of time. His work can be found in many institutional and private collections. His career has been documented in a fine article by Mark Segal in the East Hampton Star in 2013: "A Springs Artist's Creative Odyssey." In the article, Segal also writes extensively about Mr. McCallion's "astonishingly beautiful and utterly unique books," saying "they use an impressive range of materials and techniques. It's difficult to do justice to the variety and complexity of the books in words or in photographs. They are ideally experienced by hefting and opening the boxes and exploring the contents in what becomes a very personal exploration of an artwork." This is the original first publication of Mr. McCallion's interesting and somewhat mysterious book. It was later published again by the ABYSS Publications. The text is a series of questions and comments about art and life. Bound in bright yellow paper covers with a white cloth spine. The front cover has the title and a design of dark and white circles. The staples attaching the book to the spine show through the spine, otherwise book is in very good plus condition. Measures 8.5 x 13 inches. Unpaginated. [12 pages printed on rectos only] PRI/121624.
