WHEN THERE'S NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
1996. · Bayside, CA
by LaPlantz, Shereen
Bayside, CA: Press de LaPlantz, 1996.. Five panel variation of a tunnel book, with printed film windows (15 x 13 cm). Rubberband bound at fore-edges, then clothed in colored handmade paper wrapper. The rubber bands are absent from two fore-edges, but the securing stick for one is still present, otherwise fine in printed sleeve. Copy #35 of 100 numbered copies, with the text and illustrations hand drawn, then digitized and gocco printed on Fabriano Ingres. Signed by the artist. The colophon elaborates upon the disaster and disruption which the edition survived (a flood, moves, etc). The text and illustration counterpoint that with an optimism born of finding endless tunnels grist for art and liberation. (Inventory #: WRCLIT75880)
