My interest in book construction and other art fields didn't really take hold, however, until approximately fifteen years ago. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Since then I have studied book arts as well as metal fabrication, printing, drawing, painting, and photography through several community colleges, city supported art courses, Arizona State University, and workshops in my local area, as well as around the country and in Italy.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">What kickstarted my interest in book construction was a video that I rented entitled, <em>Prospero's Books,</em> with actor, John Gielgud. I have included a YouTube clip from that very abstract performance that contains in it the section which drew me into that fascination with book making...the description of the pages of the books themselves. </div><br />
This book structure below is my very first. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUXpRVaEV9I/AAAAAAAAA_4/u0HUAbaFchE/s1600/first+bound+book+j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUXpRVaEV9I/AAAAAAAAA_4/u0HUAbaFchE/s400/first+bound+book+j.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was followed by several book binding courses at Phoenix Art Center which in 1997 led to my first cased-in book on colonial gravestones of New England which I entitled, <em>A Graphic Sampler: Gravestone Art and Epitaphs from Massachusetts & Connecticut 1713-1838.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUWPsuPGDBI/AAAAAAAAA6A/CY8j6hbiYAE/s1600/A+Graphic+Sampler+1+j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUWPsuPGDBI/AAAAAAAAA6A/CY8j6hbiYAE/s400/A+Graphic+Sampler+1+j.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I only made three copies which were printed on my trusty HP black and white laser printer which registered front and back very well. Never had a printer that would perform that accurately again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In that same time frame I assembled a couple of journals in which were compiled small gravestone rubbings and intaglio prints.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUXpRXwl9EI/AAAAAAAAA_k/Os1bURT_H9I/s1600/gravestone+rubbings+journal+3+j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUXpRXwl9EI/AAAAAAAAA_k/Os1bURT_H9I/s400/gravestone+rubbings+journal+3+j.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A graphic rendition of the rubbing below became my own logo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">The following are a few of my intaglio prints.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The images were initially processed on photopolymer plates.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In 2002 I assembled a multi-layered book entitled, <em>How to Photograph Gravestones</em> and <em>How To Do Gravestone Rubbings.</em> Most of those I gave away, too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUWS4JtEsyI/AAAAAAAAA6M/3aay6vE88bs/s1600/How+To+Gravestone+book+1+j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUWS4JtEsyI/AAAAAAAAA6M/3aay6vE88bs/s400/How+To+Gravestone+book+1+j.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The outer left section contains intaglio prints on a thin but high-strength substance generically known as rubbing paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The outer right section houses a rubbing on a black rubbing paper, also generic, enveloped in Teton text paper which is intaglio printed and secured with fabricated copper hinge plates and pin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="273" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KckdGFgx3MM/TUWS4Av4yNI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/Su7dFZAkTFI/s400/How+To+Gravestone+book+2+j.jpg" width="400" /></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">You can barely see the hinge and pin on the bottom image.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">All the cover paper was intaglio printed on Teton text. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Metal work had become part of my process.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I put my metal fabrication education to good use embossing gravestone imagery into copper foil, making chain for book closures and creating other ornamentation.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As time has progressed so too have my interests in varying materials. It's obvious from looking at my color scheme, it is pretty much earthy.
