My initial discovery of woodcut printing eventually led to my interest in bookmaking. It was after I made a second print from a single woodcut that I realized printing multiples did not equate to printing duplicates. In other words, each print is different though it originates from a single source. It is the ritual of making editions of a piece of work that is central to my relationship with printmaking and letterpress printing. I find comfort in producing multiples and the variety of articulation that occurs with each print. My most recent project, Alabama Kitchen, is completed! This flatback binding is a cookbook with 24 recipes donated from three Alabama farms: Waterberry Farms, Katie Farms, and Bulger Creek Farms. I made all of the paper for this book using cotton and abaca fibers. The endsheets, binding cover paper, and portfolio-style box cover paper are dyed using walnut hull dye. Pictures coming soon...for now check out some photos at VampandTramp.com. Annie Herlocker aeherlocker@gmail.com
