A portfolio of twelve Giclée prints which were scanned directly from original watercolor and raw pigment monotypes made on Kitakata paper, under the supervision of the artist and printed on Somerset rag paper at Duganne Ateliers, Santa Monica, California. Each image relates to a specific poem and can be seen through the transparent abaca paper enclosure which was handmade by Rie Hachiyanagi, assisted by Gail Berkus. The text, laid out in Galliard by Lucy Brown, was digitally typeset and reproduced from polymer plates and printed letterpress onto the abaca enclosure by Inge Bruggeman. A chemise wrap made with white Kyoseishi and indigo Kozo paper over onyx board contains the set of twelve poems and prints. The collection slides into an acrylic sleeve. Signed and numbered. Island is Heebner's poetic and visual interpretation of her trek through the volcanic terrain of Iceland. |
