Lichens
« Lichens », an original text by Marie Rouanet is accompanied by nine mezzotints in-text and an embossment by Judith Rothchild. The author and artist explore in prose and images the miniature world of lichens. The book, published in an edition of 50, is printed on Hahnmühle paper as a leporello with wrappers of « Mineralis » by Thibierge & Comar.
The mezzotints, as well as the screenprints on the end-papers, slipcases and boxes, were printed by the artist. The letterpress, hand set in Ramsès Maigre, was printed on an Adana 8" x 5", by Mark Lintott.
The boxes and slipcases are by Claude Vallin.
