Threshold Alphabet on Somerset Book lightweight, with 24 printed and hand-painted double-page spreads using Risograph, sumi ink, gesso, acrylic ink wash, graphite, non-photo-blue pencil, and delamination. 12 copies in sewn-boards binding with cloth spine and painted board wrappers; clamshell box by Adam Bryant with colophon set into the bottom tray. Price: $2500. Drift • Fragment is an editioned, hand-painted text-image poem about reading, memory, time, labor, and rest. Each copy contains the same text but the construction of each page spread varies from book to book, obscuring some fragments and revealing others. The twenty-four double-page spreads track the hours of the day using a changing palette of colors. Three threads of text move through the book, each rendered in a different size of an experimental set of letterforms called the Threshold Alphabet.
