About this Item

Small folio (8.5" x 7"). [32] pp., illus. Limited edition, number 23 of 50 copies. Signed by Baltazar and Watsky. This copy sewn on meeting guards with silk endbands. Bound in dyed calf and finished with recessed stone veneer over sheep skiver, dyed calf inlays and onlays, as well as onlays in lizard. Subtly titled in blind across one of the onlays at the spine. Paper doublures with dyed calf hinges. Botehlo writes of this book being "filled with etchings of heavy lined and voluptuous shapes with textures and shade all done in black. The poetry evoked for me the verdancy of rogue plants that spring up between the cracks of concrete. It spoke of the appeal of being a snake, allusions to original sin. I wanted the green onlays that have been dyed and embossed to be pillowed, the stone inviting touch. I intended to create something that invites a sensory exploration." And here she has succeeded with astonishing grace, creating a design that draws and keeps the attention. Wonderfully conceived and executed with exceptional skill. Botelho is among a select group of extraordinary design binders who are graduates from the American Academy of Bookbinding, Fine Binding program.
