202011157Tacoma WA 2020. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine in Fine Archival Box. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Quiet sophisticated and remarkably powerful Gabby's newest work is an exquisite blend of book art and binding. Gabby has from early in her career gone beyond her roots in design binding creating the text art and printing for several books now. Just as her design bindings push limits and explore possibilities so does her art and print work. It is a remarkable evolution.<br /> "Ralph Emerson wrote this poem "Blight" in July of 1843. He spoke out on climate change and the ways we could shift course by not blindly following others. In describing his travels to Europe while writing on life and nature Emerson said "same faces under new caps and jackets another turn of the old kaleidoscope."<br /> I took some liberties with Emerson's poem surrounding his words with photographs captured at Owen Beach in Washington state on a rainy winter day in 2019. This public beach in the middle of an urban old-growth forest will close for a year beginning in fall of 2020 to mitigate the effects of climate change and rising sea levels. Emerson's words of anger and disappointment at environmental destruction only resonate more with our current climate of melting glaciers and raging fires. As we continue to twist the kaleidoscope I remain optimistic we will find a way to rearrange these fragments and improve the view for future generations." artist statement<br /> <br /> This copy a 'making copy' adds tests of inks gouache type and design on a lot of the pages on the main book.

2022ABE-1677491906616Dark Horse ComicsU.S. 2022 A superb copy of the first printing of this REVISED Second Edition. I know this sounds a bit contradictory; but such was the success of the First Edition it was decided to issue this revised version. It has a stunning extra section showing how the celebrated first printing was developed. It's therefore the edition to collect. New and unread first printing of this superb second edition. The great Dave McKean has arguably excelled himself with this wonderful book. He should be given a retrospective instead of all the over familiar 'artists' who keep circulating around the world's auction houses and galleries. McKean is so far ignored by the art establishment like so many others who can actually draw and paint and use their skills and imagination ; instead of merely conforming to a the establishment crap that subverts sensibility.
