Flecks Light, Used (1 results)

Flecks of Light was inspired by research done by the students into medieval pigments and image-making techniques. After the making of several models, students chose a rainbow color palette, and chose the structure after being inspired by an origami-folded book. Many of the pages had two, three, or even four press runs done on each side. 3 x 3 in. Unpaginated. Linocut illustrations, some brushed with acrylic gel medium. One image is an homage to Mark Rothko and a second is to Sonia Delaunay. Printed in handset Goudy Modern on Vandercook presses. The paper is Mohawk Superfine Cover. Blue decorative museum boards in a rainbow origami and accordion-style binding. Book is held closed with a ribbon sash with magnetic clasp. A fine copy of an unusual work and one of the last ones produced under the supervision of Professor Kitty Maryatt before her retirement. One of ninety-two copies. The contributors include Professor Kitty Maryatt and her students Sophie Fahey, Nelson Tsui, Malia Bence, Marissa Remy Dorit, and Christopher Eskilson. Kitty Maryatt retired from her role at Scripps College after the 2016 school year. Her last Scripps College Press book was Amongst the Shelves (spring 2016), so the present work (produced in the fall of 2015) was her second-to-last Scripps College Press project.
