Beschreibung
Limited Edition. Hardcover. "Once opened and carefully unpacked, Portmandemic includes two 13 x 50 inch letterpress prints made with huge wood type in 2021. One side of each print is layered with portmanteaus a term coined by Lewis Carroll which combines porter (to carry) and manteau (mantle) to describe two words combined for a new meaning. Alice s conversation with the Chesire Cat, which begins: "Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?" is revealed when the prints lay folded, but disappears once unpacked. When the print trays are lifted, an essay by the artist about her pandemic travels and a glossary of portmanteaus used in the book can be read. Portmandemic was printed by Jessica Spring during two sessions at In Cahoots Residency in Petaluma, and completed at Springtide Press in Tacoma. Handset type from both locations, ornaments cast by Pat Reagh, and photopolymer plates were letterpress printed on gasen and kitikata papers. Text is included from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, with portmanteaus inspired by pandemic travels and travails." [artist statement]. Tight, bright, and unmarred.
