9785Newark VT: Janus Press 2016. Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 114 pp. frontis. illus. Limited edition one of 120 numbered copies. Signed by Hulme and Van Vliet. Bound using a woven strip binding designed by Claire Van Vliet; the covers are a dynamic pulp-painting with a vitreograph frontispiece with five additional illustrations that were digitally composed by Van Vliet and are original archival inkjet prints on handmade paper; these seem to blend photography and Van Vliet's pulp painting creating a striking and textured result. This is accompanied by a small octavo glossary with eight letterpress pages and fold-out photograph. All laid into a clamshell box of paper boards with acrylic-painted fore-edge and moon inset on the spine; map of Moeraki mounted inside the upper cover; maple and tamarack sides. Housed in slipcase with printed title label. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> Among the most ambitious projects of the press it is one of the largest at 114 pages and the longest projects of the Press taking 20 years from contact to completion. Each of the 6 "Conversations" are printed on different handmade papers many of which have varying leaf sizes. The poetry by Booker Prize-winning author of Bone People Keri Hulme rewards attention and patience. Similarly Van Vliet's books require more attention from the reader and Silences is no exception. For instance in one "conversation" she varies the page size and relationship—some leaves being half-page strips on the lower portion of the book can be paged through while sequences of cutouts and illustrations along the top remain are turned less frequently creating a constancy. Even the form of the book can be altered: the page-spread illustrations for instance can be pulled forward at the inner fold making what was two dimensional into three-dimensional. One can do this with all the illustrations simultaneously creating what Van Vliet describes in her Notes for Press Patrons "a three dimensional wagon wheel display." This book is a beautiful choreography between text image and form—all elements in harmony. Buchtel John A. The Art of Paper: Claire Van Vliet and the Janus Press: Papermaking Collaborations 2024.

Variously bound and illustrated with a lithograph and digital prints by Van Vliet. Fine copies. <br /> <br /> A wonderful gathering of poetry that showcases many aspects of Van Vliet's design and decoration: from Kinsey's work with Van Vliet's beautiful illustrations of the moon and Ellen Dorn Levitt's diagrams of eclipses to Haswell's more playful design including numerous different papers and inclusion as well as the letterpress printing of the poems both in type and her own handwriting scanned and made into polymer plates to Hesse's four-season Cosmos that is bound in-the-round so that once that last page is turned the reader is looking at the first begging the question: what is first and what is last Janus Press unknown

Housed in a non-adhesive cube of MacGregor-Vinzani pink abaca paper with a linocut pattern in yellow. In plastic outer box. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> "Waste not; want not" as they say. What better way to employ the offcuts from a significant project than to create this absolutely delightful alphabet.

It appears in her most ambitious projects as much as it does in this wonderfully playful artist's book. Fine The Janus Press - Fifty Years p. 52. Janus Press unknown

20079781Newark VT: Janus Press 2007. Wrappers. Fine binding. Oblong octavo. 26 ll. illus. Limited edition one of 150 numbered copies. Van Vliet's woven strip binding contains 12 printed leaves alternating with 14 illusion polycarbonate and flexible vinyl leaves all laid into a vinyl wrapper and housed in acrylic slipcase. Some of the vinyl leaves have started to break down their oils leaching into and discolor the paper leaves an unexpected and according to Van Vliet perfectly fitting result. <br /> <br /> This book is referential of the author's earlier Hermetic Waste Gefn Press 1986 that was issued the summer after the Chernobyl disaster. She writes in an artist statement: "The collagraph prints in Hermetic Waste were derived from alchemical engravings — here in Waste Incant the calligraphic line drawings are derived from science illustrations in children's text books. Redrawn and merging the pictorial 'facts' depict a disrupted 'nature.' Poetic texts sit inside the imagery functioning as an integrated caption. They describe processes by which toxic material enters into the environment. The back of each page lists hazardous wastes. Plastic interleaving features in both books referencing materials used in the storage of waste. How little has changed in twenty years." <br /> <br /> In her Grolier Club catalog to the collection of Robert J. Rubin Yvonne Korshak echoes and expands Johanknecht's statement of Waste Incant: "The book in its acrylic case is a statement about the storage of nuclear waste in plastic. The line drawings are derived from children's textbooks redrawn to show a disrupted nature. The toxic wastes listed partially alphabetically are printed on both sides of the embossed paper each page separated by a plastic sheet. The unstable and hence inappropriate and hazardous use of plastic to contain toxic waste is emphasized by the diverse deformations of each of the plastic sheets. <br /> <br /> "How fascinating that the book is immaculate and glamorous while its topic - waste - implies what's dirty and distasteful. The ironic disjunction dramatizes the tension between the allure of easy labor magical communications and other seductions of our high tech culture and the tarnished other side of the coin deadly byproducts with tenacious half-lives. The book uses the very products it condemns. We can't do without it can we" Yvonne Korshak and Robert J. Rubin. Beyond the Text: Artists' Books from the Collection of Robert J. Ruben.

20199784Newark VT: Janus Press 2019. Hard Cover. Fine binding. Quarto. 6 pp. illus. Limited edition one of 120 numbered copies. Bound in a digital print on heavily textured paper over boards. Colophon inside the front cover the textblock is a 5-panel accordion foldout: the first three panels comprise a large vitreograph print by Van Vliet printed by Judith O'Rourke at Littleton Studios; this is followed by two panels each containing a poem by Ensing letterpress printed by Andrew Miller-Brown.

A fine copy. <br /> <br /> Born in the Netherlands Ensing moved to New Zealand as a young girl. As a poet she has become a voice of New Zealand and these two evocative poems "Muriwai" and "At Muriwai" capture both a sense of place but also a certain transience of time. Beautifully illustrated by Van Vliet's images. A book that can be leafed through or folded out to striking effect displaying Van Vliet's images of the reef at Muriwai in New Zealand.

10463Newark VT: Janus Gefn Limited 2002. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 141 1 pp. illus. Models. Limited edition one of 200 numbered copies. Signed by Van Vliet. There was a trade edition of the book but this limited edition includes 17 models of these inventive structures illustrated in the guide all housed in a cloth clamshell with printed paper title label on the spine and Van Vliet's handwritten limitation statement and signature on the inside of the upper tray. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> To look through this guide is beyond informative; to handle these models is mesmerizing.

These structures are a testament to the fact that Claire Van Vliet is indeed a bookbinder. Fine The Janus Press — Fifty Years p. 58-9.

Pages a bit toned throughout but a sound copy of a scarce book. A mammoth volume of maxims by Flemish-born scholar and librarian Janus Gruterus.
